title: [Disorders of heart rhythm and conduction in patients with chronic alcoholism].
abstract: The frequency and nature of arrhythmias, as well as some regularities of their time-course due to alcohol withdrawal terms were studied in chronic alcoholics. Abnormal sinus automatism was detected in 31.5%, impaired excitation, in 6.4%, disturbed conduction, in 0.9% of the examinees. Sinus tachycardia, abnormal excitation and conduction were more frequently observed in the acute period of alcohol withdrawal and in most cases ceased within 2 weeks after alcohol withdrawal. Sinus bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia disappeared in a small proportion of the patients only within 2-3 months.
