title: [Electrostimulation of the interatrial septum].
abstract: The first clinical experience of the successful application of electrostimulation of the atrial septum is described. Sickle-shaped electrodes were used for this purpose. Electrostimulation of the atrial septum was medically indicated in all cases. In 2 cases the electrode was fixed to the atrial septum after open-heart surgery and in 3 cases it was done because of an excessively high threshold of cardiac electrostimulation. Sickle-shaped electrodes are shown to be the most optimal for continuous electrostimulation of the atrial septum.
