title: [Non-invasive method of control of myocardial function in post-infarction patients treated with digitalis glycosides. Polygraphic and echocardiographic methods].
abstract: Following the guide of the publications written by Weissler, Thomas, Ahmed, Perry, Buyukoztur, Rahimotola, the Authors have executed on 25 patients with results of the myocardic infarction a polygraphic examination, comparing the variations of the intervals of the systolic time (STI) with the modifications of the fraction of the ejection (Fe) and of the velocity of the circular fibres (Vcf), calculated with echocardiographic method. From the results obtained the Authors have concluded that there is a perfect correspondence among the alterated values of the isovolumetric contraction time (TCIV), preejection period (PEP), LVET/PEP, and the variations of the Fe and Vcf, and furthermore the amelioration obtained with the digitalis therapy are controlled justly with both the methods. In conclusion both the polygraphic examination and the echocardiographic examination consent a perfect control of the patients with results of the miocardic infarction if they are subject to a digitalis treatment or not, and furthermore they permit a functional valutation of the patient.
