title: [Heart sounds in glomerular nephritis].
abstract: Enrolled in the present study were 58 patients with acute glomerulonephritis, 58 with chronic glomerulonephritis and 16 controls. Chronic glomerulonephritis patients demonstrated a significant decrease in the amplitude in the first heart sound and increase in the amplitude of the second sound. The third and fourth sounds were detected in 61 patient with glomerulonephritis. There was a striking increase in the frequency of their emergence in those cases presenting with heart failure.
