[Functional heterogeneity of the atrial myocardium in patients with congenital and acquired heart defects].

In experiments on atrium trabeculae the heterogeneity of myocardium contractile activity in patients operated on for inborn or acquired heart defects was studied. Contractile activity was assessed in isometric regime of muscle drugs work. The degree of functional heterogeneity was reported to differ in myocardium biopsies from patients with inborn or acquired heart defects.
