title: [Treatment of paroxysmal forms of auricular fibrillation and atrial flutter in a cardiological hospital].
abstract: The results of treatment of paroxysmal forms of atrial fibrillation and flutter are analysed in a group of 503 patients with attacks lasting up to 3 weeks. The sinus rhythm was restored in 84.7% of patients, in only 3% of cases was electro-impulse therapy resorted to. In alcohol toxic form of atrial fibrillation and flutter potassium chloride was the most effective drug for restoration of the sinus rhythm in 47.1% of cases, and if used with cardiac glucosides in 64.7%. In atrial fibrillation and flutter of other etiology the method of choice was a combination of quinidine with isoptine either by itself, or after saturation of the body with potassium chloride (85% cases of sinus rhythm restoration).
