[The influence of prolonged transthoracic microelectrostimulation on the course of myocardial infarction].
The subjects of the study were patients with acute myocardial infarction, who underwent prolonged transthoracic microelecrostimulation. The procedure had certain immediate effects, such as antinociceptive, anxiolytic, hypotensive, and somnific effect, lead to positive emotional shifts and substantial decrease of the degree of circulatory insufficiency, and to positive ECG dynamics. It also had long-time effects, such as positive myocardial remodeling, manifesting in the stabilization of end diastolic volume, lowering of end systolic volume and thus increase of ejection fraction, according to EchoCG results. The article substantiates the influence of transthoracic microelecrostimulation on the healing of infarcted myocardium.
