Abstract
The pre- and intraoperative drug maintenance was evaluated in 50 patie nts with mitral valvular disease and compared with the types of left a trial myocardial excursions. The maintenance with cardiac glycosides a nd diuretics was greatly different in 3 groups of patients with variou s types of left atrial myocardial excursions. In patients with Type I excursions the maintenance was minimal, in those with Type III excursi ons it was maximal, those with Type II excursions, it was intermediate . It is concluded that the functional characteristics of left atrial m yocardial excursions may be used as an indicator of cardiac performanc e.
