Abstract

When the conventional ECG after resting was used for establishing frequency and degree of severity of the ischaemic heart disease the stronger cardiac endangering of the longterm diabetic could be ascertained only from residues of an infarction (pathologic Q- and QS-types). With regard to all electrocardiographic criteria of the ischaemic heart disease according to the WHO-definition concerning the coronary risk a dependence on age, over-weight and increase of blood pressure was found without essential differences between the two groups. According to data in literature ischaemic reactions in diabetics are significantly more frequently to be expected only by inclusion of the electrocardiogram after work. Among the group of diabetics the frequency of the ischaemic heart disease increased with the duration of the disease. In contrast to retinopathy there was no dependence on the quality of the metabolic condition.
