[The effect of transcardiac galvanization on the size of the necrotic mass and on the central hemodynamic indices in patients with an acute myocardial infarct].
The authors examined 110 males and females admitted to hospital within 6 hours since the onset of new macrofocal anterior myocardial infarction running without complications. All the patients underwent transcardiac galvanization (TG) in the initial disease hours. Precardiac mapping, tetrapolar rheography and clinical observation provided evidence on TG course action on the necrosis mass, central hemodynamics and clinical appearance of the disease in the acute and postinfarction periods. TG promoted faster and more marked improvement of cardiac muscle contractility, attaining higher functional level of inotropic myocardial activity up to the disease month 6. This was associated with alleviation of circulatory disorders both at the hospital and postinfarction stage. The response to course TG results from cardioprotective action of constant electric current on ischemic myocardium which limits the zone of the lesion thus reducing early fatal cases number and preventing cardiogenic shock.
