The phonocardiographic criteria used for PM diagnosis were the presence of a telesystolic click and/or a telesystolic murmur. The echocardiographic criteria were a telesystolic or holosystolic posterior movement of a mitral leaflet continuously seen through systole or of both mitral leaflets seen in part of systole. In the 63 patients with ECHO indicative of PM, the PHONO was positive in 55 cases (87%). Methoxamin administration, in 5 cases whose basal PHONO was normal, allowed the observation of 3 telesystolic murmurs and 2 clicks. The drug also diminished the number of clicks and increased tfhe telesystolic murmurs. In 79 subjects with PHONO indicative of PM, the ECHO was positive in 57 cases (72%): this technique was of particular value in patients with olosystolic murmur; valuable also to evaluate the diastolic diameter of the left ventricle and the left atrium and other signs having a possible use for a more accurate physiopatologic definition of the PM syndrome.

Distribution of arterial blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension have been reported in 172 ... more Distribution of arterial blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension have been reported in 172 subjects (568 males and 144 females), derived from screening of a bank clerks population. 99 subjects were found to be hypertensive: 46 (46.4 p. 100) were aware of being hypertensive, 24 (24.3 p. 100) resulted to be under treatment and only in 5 subjects blood pressure values were effectively controlled. The relationships between arterial blood pressure and some recognized or suspected coronary risk factors were also determined by multiple regression analysis. Age, heart rate, body mass index, glycemia after loading, turned out the variables most correlated with blood pressure. The multiple regression analysis showed that overall evaluation of coronary risk factors explained up to 21 p. 100 of the systolic blood pressure variation and to 17 p. 100 of diastolic pressure in male subjects, while for women the obtained values were 34 p. 100 and 24 p. 100 respectively. After a critical evaluation of different parameters able to affect arterial blood pressure, the difficult approach to hypertension preventive and therapeutic problems was emphasized.

Atrial and left ventricular dimensions were measured by two-dimensional echocardiography, and total blood volume by 131 I-labelled serum albumin, on every occasion
