[Cardiovascular system in subjects who have previously suffered from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome].
OBJECTIVE
To study cardiovascular system in convalescence of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).


METHODS
ECG was made in 112 patients who had HFRS 1-3, 4-12 and 12 months ago (groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively). Ultrasound assessed hemodynamics in 27 patients.


RESULTS
In HFRS patients the electric axis right deviation was observed statistically more frequently (45%, 24%, 28.6%, 5% of cases of groups 1, 2, 3 and control). 20% of group 1 patients had overloading of right heart. Ultrasound detected dilation of the right ventricle and decrease of blood flow velocity in the pulmonary artery.


CONCLUSIONS
Patients after HFRS may have changes in the lesser circulation which emerge as a rule in early convalescence.
