[Anti-arrhythmic effectiveness of neogilurhythmal in extrasystolic arrhythmia].

The paper provides the results of differential neogilurythmal therapy in 20 patients with high-grade atrial and ventricular premature contractions in the presence of coronary heart disease. The detection of cardiac arrhythmias and evaluation of the antiarrhythmic efficacy of neogilurythmal were performed by Holter monitoring and transesophageal electrophysiological study. After the baseline studies, the antiarrhythmic efficacy of the drug was evaluated during an acute drug test and then during a 8-day course of the therapy.
