Once in four years, cardiologists of the world united into the International Society and Federation of Cardiology corne together to discuss the most pressing problems of cardiovascular pathology, sum up the accomplishments of the intervening years, and set directions for future research and exploitation of the existing knowledge. Not too much time passed since the I Paris Congress of International Foundation of Cardiology in 1950, but since then we have been witnessing a real information explosion. Extraordinary amounts of new knowledge, accumulated during the past three decades, has revolutionized our understanding of major cardiovascular diseases as well as approach to their treatment and ...
Mankind in the second half of the twentieth century has encountered a number of social and economic problems, which, as never before, determine its future. Among the main problems facing medicine, meriting distinction is organization of the struggle against the increase of cardiovascular and oncological diseases which, with the birthrate, are the main demographic indices of our planet.

The "geography" of heart and blood vessel diseases has chang...
The articles in these volumes (see following entry) are reviews of recent developments written by Soviet experts, most of them in Russian, and translated by the publisher. Volume two (in two parts) is Regulation of myocardial contractile function and metabolism. Part A (nine articles) is Physiology and biochemistry of the myocardium; Part B (eight articles), Metabolism of ischemic myocardium. The big money paid for these volumes does not buy high quality book production--they're printed from double-spaced typescript. Topics covered in Part A include: the mechanisms of calcium regulation, the energy supply of myocardial contractile activity, the role of sarcolemma in the reception of biologically active substances, myofibril proteins, subthreshold myocardial activity, and the effects on cardiac function of glucocortoids, catecholamines, and cyclic nucleotides. In Part B: morphological and structural changes in ischemic myocardium, immune and ischemic injury to the myocardium, the protection of ischemic myocardium with amino acids, clinical trials of new drugs.
