Vf. Yakovlev et al., INTRAOPERATIVE MYOCARDIOGRAPHY IS A NEW T ECHNIQUE FOR EVALUATING REGIONAL MYOCARDIAL-FUNCTION DURING AORTOCORONARY BYPASS-SURGERY, Kardiologia, 32(6), 1992, pp. 77-82
Excursions of the myocardium in its revascularization area were record
ed in 70 patients with coronary heart disease. Myocardial dyskinesia c
orrelated with low bypass blood flows, myocardial ischemia and infarct
ion in the area of revascularization at any blood flow values. The eva
luation of the diagnostic efficacy of myocardiographic symptoms sugges
ted that myocardiography had some advantages. It was concluded that it
was essential to include intraoperative myocardiography into the set
of methods for examining patients with coronary heart disease during m
yocardial revascularizations.
