title: [Clinical value of transesophageal electric stimulation of the heart in patients with occlusive diseases and aneurysms of the aorta and major arteries during preparation for surgery].
abstract: A total of 325 patients with occlusions and aneurysms of the aorta and its main branches were investigated preoperatively. The patients were divided into 2 groups; in one of those (32 patients), esophageal electrostimulation of the heart was used for the diagnosis of latent coronary insufficiency. In addition to the degree of myocardial ischemia, the efficiency of antianginal drugs and the results of preoperative medication were assessed here. Comparative analysis of the results demonstrated a higher sensitivity and diagnostic value of esophageal electrostimulation, as compared to routine lead tests, which, in combination with the test's simplicity and noninvasiveness as well as possible identification of diagnostically-meaningful criteria, makes it a method of choice.
