[Prognosis of the effectiveness of electroimpulse therapy of auricular fibrillation according to the roentgenocardiometric data].
The purpose of the work was to investigate the relationship between immediate results of the electroimpulse therapy and such roentgenocardiometric data as the voloume of the heart, the cardio-thoracic index, Moore's coefficient, the extent of the left atrium enlargement and of the radius of the contrasted esophagus deviation. An analysis of the experience gained with 197 defibrillation of the heart in patients with rheumatic heart diseases complicated by auricular fibrillation bears proof to a high degree of reliability achieved through inclusion of roentgenocardiometric data in prognosing the resultant effect of the electroimpulse therapy.
