[Cardiovascular function and reserve potentials in chronic alcoholism patients].
In examination of 68 patients with chronic alcoholism some changes in ECG at rest were recorded in 14% of the cases. The time and physical exercise threshold as well as the volume of work were much lower in the alcoholic patients than in healthy persons. These parameters were in reverse correlation with a time-period of alcohol consumption. The elongation of an electric ventricular systole in alcoholic patients was more frequently revealed at the height of bicycle ergometry testing, being in reverse correlation with a "double product" reflecting indirectly oxygen consumption by the myocardium. A conclusion was made of the reduction of the potentialities of the cardiovascular system of alcoholic patients and of a necessity of graded physical exercise for their assessment.
