[The effect of a standard breakfast on the central hemodynamics of patients with stenocardia of effort].

Results are reported of a study of the central hemodynamics in 46 patients suffering from ischemic heart disease with effort stenocardia and in 11 clinically healthy persons. In 96.78% of patients with ischemic heart disease and the healthy persons breakfast was followed by an increase of the number of cardiac contractions, minute volume while the general peripheral resistance reduced. These changes are evaluated as a response reaction of the cardiovascular system to an increased inflow of blood to the digestive organs. After breakfast patients with IHD showed an increase of the stroke volume and 3.22% of them showed an unfavourable reaction of cardiovascular system. Planning recommendations on the dietary regimen of patients with IHD one has to consider the character of the cardiovascular system to food loads that may prevent the development of complications.
