title: [Experience with introduction of an instrumental-diagnostic complex in outpatient clinics].
abstract: The paper is concerned with introduction under outpatient conditions of an instrumental diagnostic complex including, apart from routine electrocardiographic and x-ray examinations, more specialized techniques, namely phonocardiography and echocardiography. Based on examination of 273 patients with different heart diseases the authors worded indications for echocardiography with emphasis on the necessity of rejecting or confirming the diagnosis, of specifying the diagnosis upon the deciding on the surgical treatment, and so forth. The authors conclude that it is necessary to use the instrumental diagnostic complex under outpatient conditions. They stress, however, that its successful use completely depends on the number of outpatients. The present paper is of interest for physicians specialized in functional diagnosis made in- and outpatiently.
