[Transformation in the lymphatic system of the heart and myocardium in congestion with lymph].
Changes in the heart in regional songestion of the lymph were studied both on sectional (26 observations) and experimental (20 dogs) material. It was shown that blocking of the lymphatic ways brought about dilatation and deformation of lymphatic capillaries and vessels, growth of capillaries, formation of lymphatic lacunas, varicosis of the wall of lymphatic vessels, and -- in complete obstruction of the lymph flow -- the appearance of lympho-venous shunts. In the myocardium stroma there were observed oedema, lympho-histiocytic and plasmocellular infiltrations, and in muscle cells -- dystrophic and necrobiotic changes. The degree of manifestation of the disorders depended upon the duration of congestion of the lymph; their outcome is replacing and stromogenous cardiosclerosis.
