[EFFICACY OF RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION OF AORTORENAL SYMPATHETIC NODES IN PATIENTS IN ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION].

Efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of prevertebral sympathetic nodes, concern- ing the arterial pressure lowering in 36 patients, suffering hypertonic disease and coex- istent heart diseases, was analyzed. In 12 mo after RFA a systolic arterial pressure lowering at average throughout the group by (3.24 ± 1.

[PECULIARITIES OF ROTATIONAL MOTION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR WALLS IN PATIENTS ON MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY].

The peculiarities of rotational motion of left ventricular (LV) walls in patients on mitral valve insufficiency (MVI) were studied. In normal heart and MVI the rotation of basal and apical portions of the LV occurs in inter-reverse directions: the basal portion rotates clockwise and apical portion rotates counterclockwise. In patients with MVI the increase of the LV volumes is accompanied by compensatory rise of LV myocardium torsion up to (23.

[FEATURES ROTATIONAL MOTION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR WALLS IN PATIENTS WITH AORTAL STENOSIS].

The features of the rotational movement of the left ventricle (LV) walls in patients with aortal stenosis (AS) were studied. In normal and AS rotation basal and apical parts of the LV walls occurs in mutually antithetical ways: basal rotate clockwise, apical-counterclockwise. Increased systolic pressure gradient with AS to (103.

[LONGITUDINAL SEGMENTAL SHIFT OF THE LEFT VENTRICULUS WALLS IN PATIENTS, SUFFERING THE AORTAL VALVE STENOSIS].

In patients, suffering the aortal valve (AV) stenosis, the shift of middle and apical parts of all left ventriculus (LV) walls and basal parts of anterior--septa, anterior, posterior and inferior walls almost do not differ from those in norm. The shift of basal parts of inferior--septal and lateral walls had a tendency for lowering in comparison with such in norm. It is possible, that this phenomenon of the initial lowering of the movement amplitude in basal parts of inferior--septa and lateral walls of LV in patients, suffering the AV stenosis with preserved fraction of ejection, precedes to disorders of its hemodynamics and constitutes a predictor of the heart ejection reduction.

[DEFORMITY OF LEFT VENTRICLE WALLS IN PATIENTS WITH AORTAL VALVE STENOSIS].

Parameters of longitudinal deformity of left ventricle walls in patients, suffering aortal valve stenosis (AVS), were analyzed. While the process of heart contraction in norm and in AVS occurs, longitudinal deformity is expressed maximally in its apical divisions. AVS deformity of apical divisions of left ventricle, as well as middle divisions of interventricular septum and lower wall, practically did not differ from such in norm, and deformity of basal divisions of all walls and middle divisions of posterior, lateral and anterior walls of left ventricle was trustworthy less than a norm.
