[Our experience in using temporary and permanent electric stimulation in conduction disorders].
The results from the observation of 49 patients with complete and incomplete AV block are reported, 33 of them with attacks of MAC syndrome; asystolia 25, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation--8. Temporary electric stimulation is carried out in 31 patients (21 with chronic complete AV block and 10 with incomplete and complete with recent cardiac infarction). In all patients with chronic AV block but one, implantation of a permanent artificial rhythm nuide was necessary. The prognosis of the patients with implanted permanent stimulator is determined by the myocardial state, out of six patients with cardiac insufficiency -- three died in a period of 1 to 12 months. Recommendations are presented for active finding out and dispensary control of patients with conduction disturbances and wider application of temporary electric stimulation in the intensive care and treatment units.
