Summary: 80 patients with the first episode of transmural acute
myocardial
infarction (AMI) entered a double blind controlled clinical trial aimed at
assessing the effectiveness of low-dose subcutaneous heparin together with
low-dose oral aspirin in preventing left ventricular (LV) thrombi. Seven
patients died and were therefore excluded shortly after being included in
the study. The remaining 73 patients who were divided into two groups were
followed through the acute and subacute phases of AMI. 32 patients in group
I were treated with 2x5000 units of subcutaneous heparin and 100 mg oral
aspirin daily, starting at least 24 hours from the onset and continued to
the fifth hospital day of AMI. 41 patients in the control group received
placebo. Serial 2-D echocardiograms were performed to detect LV mural
thrombi. 31% of patients in group I (10/32) and 41% in group II (17/41)
developed LV thrombi on 2-D echocardiograms. There was not statistical
difference in the incidence of LV thrombi between the twogroups (p>0.05,
Xý=0.81).
These results suggest that low-dose heparin s.c. in combination
with 100 mg oral aspirin daily do not prevent LV thrombus formation in the
early course of AMI.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine clinical value and a
feasibility of transesophageal atrial pacing (TAP) in diagnosing of
myocardial ischemia in patients with a coronary artery disease (CAD). Forty
patients with CAD and with significant ST depression in a 12-lead ECG
during bicycle-stress testing underwent TAP. Rapid atrial stimulation was
performed using very flexible six-polar polyurethan pacing lead introduced
through the nares into the esophagus and connected to the stimulator which
allows programmable selection of rate, output voltage and pulse duration.
Of 4O patients underwent TAP ischemic ECG changes wereinduced in 35 and
were similar to that occurred during bicycle-stress testing according
intensity and affected ECG leads with comparable peak rate-pressure
products. Four patients had negative test for myocardial ischemia and in
one TAP was interrupted because of intolerable chest discomfort. We
concluded that TAP is reliable alternative technique for the assessment of
CAD. In combination with some other noninvasive methods (echocardiography,
scintigraphy, i.v. digital angiography) TAP became widely used diagnostic
procedure in cardiac patients.

Summary: In order to evaluate LV diastolic function during
myocardial
ischemia in 30 patients with CAD we provoked myocardial ischemia
using rapid TEAS. In the same time assessing of LV diastolic function was
estimated by measuring transmitral flow velocity
using Doppler echocardiography from apical four-chamber view. We measured
peak and time velocity integrals of early (E, Ei),
late (A, Ai) and total transmitral flow (VTI) and their ratios as
well. We have observed different patterns of left ventricular
diastolic filling correlating primarily with the degree of CAD, LV systolic
function and by ischemia induced mitral regurgitation.
We concluded that TEAS together with Doppler is very usefull method to
evaluate the effects of myocardial ischemia on the LV diastolic function.

Summary: 30 patients with CHD underwent this study. Myocardial
ischemia
was induced by rapid TEAS and transmitral flow measured by
PWD from apical four chamber view. We concluded that TEAS together with
Doppler echocardiography is very useful in determination of LV diastolic
function in the patients with CHD.

Summary: 40 patients with CAD and positive bicycle stress testing,
underwent rapid transesophageal atrial stimulation (TEAS). In 35 patients
we induced ECG ischemic changes comparable with that
on stress testing. We concluded that rapid TEAS is useful diagnostic
