EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY OF THE COMBINED USE OF BETA-ADRENO BLOCKERS AND CARDIAC GLYCOsideS IN THE TREATMENT OF DILATING CARDIOMYOPATHY COMPLICATED WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE Y II STAGE B ( PO N UNA III FC )

Abstract

The results of echocardiographic , electrocardiographic and biochemical studies in 16 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by chronic heart failure II were studied.  B stage ( according to NYHA  III FC). In all patients included in this study, the parameters of the end-systolic size of the left ventricle and the ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle (LV) were determined by echocardiography. Signs of cardiac arrhythmia according to the type of atrial fibrillation were assessed electrocardiographically in 10 patients before the start of intensive therapy, and in dynamics on the ECG taken, a positive effect of the combined use of cardiac glycosides and beta-blockers was recorded in the form of a transition from the tachystolic form of atrial fibrillation to the normosystolic form of atrial fibrillation. The importance of timely correction of hypokalemia in blood plasma by intravenous drip administration of panangin 20 ml diluted in 0.9% saline 200 ml was studied.
