Objective:To investigate the predictive value of QT interval dispersion (QTd),cor rected QT interval dispersion (QTcd) and corrected QT interval(QTc) of car diac events in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF).Methods: QTd、QTcd、QTc and QTcd/QTc of 106 CHF patients were reviewed. Results:QTd、QTcd、QTc and QTcd/QTc of patients with and without cardiac events had significant difference respectively(P<0.05、<0.01、<0.05、<0.001 respectively).Conclusion: QTd、QTcd、QTc and QTcd/QTc are independent factors in predictin g cardiac events of CHF patients. In which,QTcd/QTc is the most accurate factor.

Objective: To study the correation between carotid artery atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Color Doppler flow imaging was employed to evaluate carotid artery atherosclerosis in 90 patients with CHD, carotid artery ultrasonography and coronary angiography were performed simultaneously in 20 cases. Results: The thickness of internus-middle membrane and the index number of atheroma both increased remarkably in all cases, and the group with MI had obvious abnomal parameter of blood stream in internal carotid artery. The conformed rate of coronary angiography with ultrasonography in carotid is 75 % in 20 cases,and the moreserious the pathological change of coronary is, the higher the happening rate of carotid artery atherosclerosis is. Conclusion: The degrees of carotid artery atherosclerosis can reflect the degree of pathological changes of coronary indirectly.

Objective: The aim of our study was to analyse the death cause and related factors of death in hospital of patients after cardiac valve replacement (CVR). Methods: Regression analysis of 34 patients' data was executed. Results: Death rate was 9.9 %, death cause: (1) L.ow cardiac output syndrome is the first complication and death cause (2.6 % ), which was closely related to cardiac function (grade Ⅳ ) before operation, LVEDD>8.0 cm, LVEF<0. 40, GR >80%, emergency operation, long time of arterial block, etc; (2) Ventricular tachycardia、 ventricular fibrillation is the second cause of death (2. 1%); (3) Respiratory failure (4) Post-operation hemorrhage inducing pericardial tamponade and shock; (5) Postoperation infection of replaced valve and brain complications. Conclusion: The success rate of operation can be increased by selecting patients strictly, improving operation methods, enhancing periopertive monitor.

Objective: To investigate the alteration of red cell deformability (RCD) and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of cell membrane in essential hypertensive (EH) patients and essential hypertension patients complicated with cerebral infarction (HCI). Methods: Twenty healthy individuals, 30 EH patients and 30 HCI patients were selected as subjects. The erythrocyte deformability indexes (DI)、 Na+, K+-ATPase and Ca2+ATPase activities were examined. Results: (1) EH patients had significantly higher DI, lower ATPase activity as compared to healthy individuals. There were significantly negative correlation between DI and ATPase activity, and a significantly positive correalation between DI and diastolic blood pressure in EH patients; (2) There was significantly higher DI, lower ATPase activity in HCI patients than those in EH patients. There was significantly negative correlation between DIand ATPase activity in HCI patients. Conclusion: (1) RCD decreases in EH patients, and RCD is correlated to the decreased ATPase of cell membrane and elevated blood pressure; (2) The decreased RCD level may be related to the occurrence of HCI.

Objective: To explore the significance of examination of spectrum ECG in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Spectrum ECG and ECG、 vectorcardiogram examination were meanwhile executed in 254 patients with coronary heart disease. Results: Diagnose coincidence rate of CHD was 66.9% by spectrum ECG and ECG、 vectorcardiogram examination. Conclusion: Spectrum ECG is a new detect method for electrocardiogram information.

Results: Compared with control group, at acute stage of stroke, the Vit C、 E and SOD levels significantly reduced (P<0. 01), the MDA level significantly increased (P<0.01); at convalescent stage, the Vit C、 E gradually recover to normal, the SOD still reduced (P<0.05), the MDA still incresed (P<0.05). Conclusion: The endogenous Vit C、 E have significant change in patients with acute stage of stroke, it gradually recovers to normal in convalescent stage. Meanwhile the SOD and MDA change accordingly.
