The electrocardiographic and echocardiographic analysis was made on 23 patients with atrial septal defect of ostium secundum type, who were confirmed by right heart catheterization under admission at hanyang University Hospital from january 1979 to July 1981. Following results were obtained: 1) In the 23 patients, 13 were male and 10 female. Their ages ranged from 6 to 45 years, mean age being 19.9 years. 2) In 18 patients(78.3%), the QRS axis was between +90degrees and +150degrees. No significant correlations could be demonstrated between QRS axis and some hemodynamic parameters(right ventricular systolic pressure, pulmonary artery mean pressure and pulmonic to systemic flow ratio), and also, between QRS axis and the size of right ventricular dimension index. 3) Right ventricular outflow tract hypertrophy, right ventricular hypertrophy and complete right bundle branch block pattern in Lead V3R or V1were observed in 95.7% of ostium secundum defect. No significant correlations could be found between types of QRS complexes and some hemodynamic parameters(right ventricular systolic pressure, pulmonary artery mean pressure and pulmonic to systemic flow ratio), and also, between types of QRS complex and the size of right ventricular dimension index. 4) The mean amplitude of S wave in precordial Lead V6was 7.6mm. There was a definite correlation between the amplitude of S wave in Lead V6and right ventricular systolic pressure. No significant correlations could be demonstrated betwen the amplitude of s wave in Lead V6and some hemodynamic parameters(pulmonary artery mean pressure and pulmonic to systemic flow ratio), and also, the size of right ventricular dimension index. 5) Right ventricular dimension index was increased in all cases but one. A significant correlation was found between the size of right ventricular dimension index and pulmonary artery mean pressure, whereas no significant correlation could be demonstrated between the size of right ventricular dimension index and pulmonic to systemic flow ratio. 6) 95.7% of 23 patients with ostium secudum defect showed paradoxical septal motion was proved not to be associated with other congenital heart disease by cardiac catheterization. The pulmonic to systemic flow ratio in groups of septal motion type A was significantly increased than that of normal septal motion group, whereas no significantl relation between types of septal motion and the size of right ventricular dimension index was observed.

We observed the serum cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol values in 25 hyperlipidemic patients with procectofene(LIpanthyl(R))administration. 1) The mean serum lipids before & after procetofene administration was as follows 2) The undersirable effect of the drug was found on 3 patients; those were abdominal fullness, headache & pruritus.

30 patients with essential hypertension were treated with diltiazem (Herben(R))significantly decreased both systolic and diastolic blood pressuer and heart rate. Mean decrease in systolic & diastolic blood pressuer were 38.0+/-4,5mmHg and 16.3+/-2.3 mmHg respectively and mean drop in heart rate was 17+/-2 beats/mm. The side effects of diltiazem (Herben(R)) were mild headache, fatigue and pruritus, but those were insignificant. Diliazem may be of benefit to hypertensive patients, and particularly useful when hypertension occurs in association with coronary artery disease.

Rickets is a syndrome, characterized pathophysiologically by a failure of normal mineralization of bone and epiphyseal cartilage and clinically by skeletal deformity in growing children. The five principal causes of rickets are vitamin D deficiency, absorptive defects, renal tubular insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency and hypophosphatasia. In addition to these causes of rickets a defective reabsorption mechanism of the proximal renal tubule is currently believed to be a factor in the development of hypophosphatemic vitamine D resistant rickets. Simple type of hypophosphatemic vitamine D resistant rickets is the most common of all the cases of rickets due to tubular insufficiency. It has a familiar incidence and is a sex-linked dominant disease. There is hypophos-phatemia and an elevated alkaline phosphatase but usually no glomerular disease or uremia. All the clinical manifestations are those of advanced rickets of the ordinary type and usually begin early. We experienced four cases of hypophosphatemic vitamine D resistant rickets which developed in a family.
