The following conclusions can be drawn from examination results: 1. The degree to which the functional condition of the cardiovascular system varies depends on the caloric content of the diet. 2. In elderly @entity1 functional changes of the cardiovascular system can be observed to take place in two stages (1st stage about 1 hour, 2nd stage from 3rd to 5th hour after meals). 3. A high-caloric diet can be expected to provoke an inadequate cardiovascular response in elderly @entity101 . 4. The impact of fat in the diet on cardiovascular function depends on the subject's age and the kind of fat consumed. Saturated fats have a more adverse effect that unsaturated ones. 5. That a high concentration of blood sugar influences metabolic processes in the myocardium ( @entity855 metabolism, @entity972 balance, membrane effects) seems to be an established fact. 6. @entity2690 appears to have a considerable direct effect on the myocardium and on variations of the sympathico-adrenal and vago-insulinary systems. 7. The second postprandial stage of functional changes in the cardiovascular system, based on a relative hypoglycaemia, is probably induced by a sudden release of @entity2661 .
