[Structural and functional stage of the myocardium in different forms of ischemic heart disease].

152 patients with ischemic heart disease aged from 46 to 60 years have been observed. Among these patients, 69 were with stable stenocardia, 32--with unstable stenocardia and 53--in stage related to acute heart attack. Normal geometry of the heart was found in 33% of patients with stable stenocardia, excentric hypertrophy was found in 30% of patients with stable stenocardia. Excentric hypertrophy prevailed in patients with unstable stenocardia and myocardial infarction. Systolic disfunction of the myocardium was found in 72% of patients with stable stenocardia, in 41% of patients with unstable stenocardia and in 43% of patients with myocardial infarction. Diastolic dysfunction of the myocardium in terms of rigide and restrictive types was found oftener in patients with myocardial infarction.
