[Electrocardiographic changes in the pathological climacteric].

The authors share their experience in the importance of climacteric cardiopathy among the dyshormonal cardiopathies under out-patient department conditions. The observation is based on 20 cases of women, aged from 42 to 49. The subjective complaints of the patients were followed as well as the objective findings, some biochemical indices, arterial pressure and the electrocardiographic image within the course of two years. The results from the electrocardiographic records are of particular importance, giving the changes in T-wave of precordial leads, the necessity of differentiation from those in ischemic heart disease and the effectiveness of the treatment applied.
