In the structure of morbidity and mortality in modern society, the group of diseases of the circulatory system takes the first place. The idea arose that the heart of modern man has become more sensitive, vulnerable and reactive.
Over the past twenty years, I and my colleagues (G. Sh. Gafurova, V. V. Tyavokin and A. I. Krutovertsev) have registered 280 patients with angina pectoris treated with cervical vagosympathetic novocaine blockade.
In 1955, at the XXVIII Congress of Cardiology, Dressler first reported on a peculiar complication of acute myocardial infarction, which he designated as postinfarction syndrome, manifested in the form of a triad: pleurisy, pericarditis, pneumonia.
If the doctor's tactics in the treatment of myocardial infarction in the acute period are quite well developed, then this cannot be said for the subsequent spa treatment, the results of which are far from always favorable.
The problem of viscero-reflex disorders in the clinic of coronary insufficiency has long attracted the attention of clinicians N. Head back in 1892 described the zones of cutaneous hyperalgesia in patients with angina pectoris.
The combination of stenosis of the left atrioventricular orifice and aortic valve insufficiency is often very difficult to recognize.
In 1954, Prinzmetal and Kennamer successfully used corticotropin in the treatment of complete atrioventricular block with severe Morgagni-Edems-Stokes attacks as a result of posterior myocardial infarction and associated this effect with a decrease in perifocal inflammation. This explanation is shared by other authors who observed the positive effect of glycocorticoids in violations of atrioventricular conduction.
The analysis of bioelectric and mechanical manifestations of the active state of the heart has been studied by many authors. In connection with the introduction of multichannel recording devices into clinical practice, it is of practical interest to study changes in the mechanical work of the heart after taking nitroglycerin.
In the foreign literature there are many works in which the role of heredity in the occurrence of hypertension is exaggerated; heredity is considered as the leading or even the only etiological factor of this disease (Pickering, 1956; Nikitich, 1955; D'Alonso, Densen, Mann, 1954).
Glauner (1958) and K.I. Parkhon (1959) believe that the use of even small doses of vitamin E helps to lower blood pressure. V.E.

Among the visceral lesions associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, cardiac syndrome is ranked first. However, practitioners are often not sufficiently familiar with the manifestation of cardiac pathology in systemic lupus erythematosus and in such patients the rheumatic process is mistakenly diagnosed, which does not allow starting early correct treatment. In the diagnosis of lupus heart disease, in addition to clinical signs that are not always clearly expressed, instrumental research data, especially ECG, are of great importance.
Riemann in 1948, on the basis of observations of patients in Syria, isolated the disease, which he gave the name "periodic illness".
In the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, diseases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hemorrhagic nephroso-nephritis (GNN) were first diagnosed in the Agryz and Vysokogorsk regions (T. A. Bashkirev, V. A. Boyko, 1959).
Endotracheal combined and mixed anesthesia using curariform drugs, carried out in stage III at the first level (III1), is an achievement of modern general anesthesia.
In the thoracic department of the Poltava regional hospital in 1961-1964. for obliterating arteriosis, 166 men and 12 women were treated. With a disorder of peripheral circulation of the 1st stage. there were 34 patients, II — 81, III — 63.
In neurosurgical patients, even in the preoperative period, serious disorders of the nervous regulation of body functions are observed, which during the operation can take on the character of an acute vegetative syndrome (Campan and Lazortes, 1954).
