Yl. Shevchenko et al., ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF CARDIOVASCULAR -SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC-HEART-DISEASE BEFORE AND AFTER AORTOCORONARY BYPASS-SURGERY, Kardiologia, 34(7-8), 1994, pp. 10000032-10000035
In P.A. Kuprianov clinic of cardio-vascular surgery 156 patients with
ischemic heart disease were operated because of angina pectoris of hig
h functional class. Aorto-coronary bypass was performed in all patient
s. Twenty eight patients with coronary artery stenoses of different se
verety were evaluated after surgery for presence of myocardial contrac
tility disturbances and electric instability. Integral index based on
data of clinical and functional methods of investigation was suggested
for assessment of the state of cardiovascular system and estimation o
f the severety of patients condition. Direct correlation was found bet
ween degree of coronary artery involvement and index (total ball) of s
everety of the disease.
