[Laser therapy and death caused by arrhythmia in ischemic heart disease].

The paper presents a new treatment of myocardial infarction which proved its high antiarrhythmic effectiveness in 300 MI patients followed up for 2 years. The method implies endogenous radiation of blood by He-Ne laser. Holter monitoring revealed that such radiation in the acute MI period promoted the arrest of high-grade ventricular arrhythmia more efficiency than lidocaine++ and prevented primary ventricular fibrillation.
