Ap. Savchenko et al., LEFT-VENTRICULAR FUNCTION IN CORONARY PAT IENTS EXPERIENCING ACUTE MYOCARDIAL-ISCHEMIA INDUCED BY TRANSESOPHAGEAL PACING, Terapevticeskij arhiv, 65(12), 1993, pp. 30-34
Repeat transvenous multiphase left ventriculography was performed in 1
4 patients with coronary stenosis diagnosed by clinical and angiograph
ic findings. The procedure was conducted before and in the course of t
ransesophageal pacing. The latter provoked acute myocardial ischemia r
esponsible for a wide range of left ventricular dysfunctions which are
analyzed in the paper in terms of cardiomanometry parameters, cardioc
ycle energetic balance, diastolic function and local motions of the ca
mera walls.
