If the irregularities continue and causf the patient to have extra svsioles quite ofien which Worned me very much My doc- tor put me in the hosp.tai for tests X rays cardiograms and exercise tests. He tailed a a heart specialist who said my trouble was nervous tension, My doctor passed away and UD02 rect.vme my records i read: Mitral insufficiency, valvular disease, grade two systolic murmur, myocardial irritability with multiple extra systoles. "Now when I have an eitra beat I am so atraid I will drop dead Please explain the above. DEAK READER Despite all those onunous sounding terms it is chvuus that the heart specialist did not think you had anything seriously wrong with your heart. I might point out that the reaction you have had to reading your medical records is exactly why many doctors are reluctant to tell some patients are what they have. used to those big words and know how little they mean, but - Dot-tor- s times the patient overreacts to them, Let's start from the begin- ning You had, and apparently stiil have, extra systoles, sometimes called premature contractions, skipped beats and a variety of other things. These ofien occur in otherwise healthy individuals. In the Air Force I saw many healthy young pilots with these who were totally unaware that they ever occurred. Even when they are not associated with heart disease they can be annoying in some people. In general the more concerned the person is. the more likely he or she is to to be too uncomfortable, then it is sometimes advisable to give medicines to control them, Many of these medicines are powerful and doctors prefer not to use them if the problem is not really u mat imporum The term myocardial irritability of the heart merely refers to the occurrence of those extra beats that originate in the heart muscle (myocardium) The systolic Murmur means a sourl during heart contraction (systole) that shouldn't be there These can occur without heart disease. The grade two means it is very faint which suggests it might not be impor- tant. Your family doctor probably called it mitral insufficiency because a minor leakage of the mitral valve is one cause of such a sound. If the leak in the valve is greater the murmur is usually louder, Grade two is about as faint a murmur as you can have and e expect anyone except a trained heart specialist to hear it. well-som- Apparently the heart specialist who saw you was un- impressed with the murmur and probably thought it was of little consequence, So I think you should have a checkup once a year to evaluate the status of the alleged mur- mur, but I don't think you have anything major to worry about, and you are not going to drop dead from those problems.

UPS i sentenced federal judge ha Dennis Gibim. 28, of Belleville, lli , to !00 years in prison for the abductJn of a man who was injected with lighter fluid, forced to dig Ms own grave and then shot in the head at close range and killed. VS. District Court Judge James H. Meredith set the purushment for Gibim, who was convicted by a jury last week of kidnaping Robert C. Homeyer. Horneyer's body was found last November in a makeshift grave nearCentreville, 111. Prosecutors said Homeyer had some drugs belonging to GMn, and the motive far the killing was apparently revenge. The chief trial witness, Michael Mroczkowski, said he went with Gibim and Homeyer to the murder scene. Mroczkowski testified he and Giblin injected a mixture of lighter fluid, alkali solution into and Homeyer in an effort to kill him and make the death appear to have been caused by drugs. But Homeyer survived the injection, Mroczkowski said. He said then Homeyer was forced to dig his own grave, was shot several times in the head at close range by Giblin, and buried. The body was found one year to the day that Homeyer was killed. Giblin and Mroczkowski are serving prison terms for a 1973 bank robbery. st-de- drain-cleanin- g Towing Firm Slapped With Suit agaiast a towing company w hich took Miss Ferro's car from a vacant lot on State Street.
