[The use of transesophageal electrical stimulation of the left atrium combined with the intravenous administration of kordaron for managing paroxysms of atrial flutter].

The efficiency was studied of transesophageal electrocardiostimulation of the left ventricle (TEESLP) in controlling attacks of atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac insufficiency as well as its association with preliminary administration of cordaron. Treatment was carried out in 19 patients. After (TEESLP) the attack was controlled in 15 patients (26.

[The use of laser puncture for managing hypertensive crises].

The authors report efficacy of using laser puncture and pointed massage in controlling hypertensive crises in patients suffering of hypertensive disease. The arterial pressure was reduced mainly due to decrease of the peripheral resistance. This method of treatment was more effective in patients with moderate and significant hypertrophy of the left ventricle as compared with patients showing marked hypertrophy of the left ventricle.

[The effectiveness of laser puncture in hypertension patients].

A study is presented of the results of laser puncture in combination with drug treatment of patients with hypertensive disease using an association of different acupuncture points. The values of hemodynamics were evaluated by routine techniques of tetrapolar chest rheo- and kinetocardiography. The use of laser puncture allowed to reduce the dose of hypotensive drugs.
