[Repercussive symptoms in the postinfarct period].

The paper contains observations of repercussive symptoms in 118 patients, who had infarctions and stenocardia. The repercussive symptoms were expressed in sensorial disorders, motor and vegetative-trophical disturbances in the shoulder girdle and upper extremities. The authors analyse the clinical data, ECG, EMG and X-ray examinations. The results of such studies demonstrate that in some cases in the postinfarction period the picture of a repercussive syndrome prevails. Timely diagnostic methods and treatment makes it possible to safeguard the patients from signs of repercussive pathology, promote the removal of secondary reflectory influences in the coronary circulation, which in its turn prevents the development of repeated myocardial infarctions and significantly improves the prognosis in the postinfarction period.
