[Determination of central hemodynamics parameters in children by a mechanocardiographic method].

Comparative analysis of the data obtained during measurements of the central hemodynamic parameters by means of mechanorheo- and echocardiography revealed coincidence of the mechano- and echocardiography data in 88.57% of cases, of the mechano- and rheography data in 100%, and of the data obtained with the aid of all the three methods in 90.9% of cases. Out of 8 cases of non-coincidence of the mechano- and echography data, prolapse of the mitral cusps occurred in 5 cases. It is concluded, that to measure the central hemodynamic parameters, any of the methods under study can be used.
