[State of cardiac activity in patients with varicose disease of the lower extremity veins].
The intracardiac characteristics were studied in 100 patients prior to a removal of varicose veins by surgical or screrotherapeutic methods using US methods. An analysis of these characteristics has shown that investigation of the diastolic function of the heart ventricles is the most demonstrative one. The function of one or two ventricles was shown to worsen with age having negative influence on the venous system of lower extremities which can cause the appearance of varicose veins or their progression thus increasing the stage of chronic venous insufficiency, the appearance of recurrent varicosity after its removal.
