Abstract: | The authors studied the results of examination of the myocardium in patients with Fallot's tetralogy by means of two methods during radical correction of the congenital anomaly: invasive intraoperative myocardiography and appraisal of myocardial metabolism. High probability of the detection of dysfunction of the myocardium and disorders of of oxygen-dependent metabolic processes in it were revealed. A conclusion is drawn on the expediency of using invasive intraoperative myocardiography as a method of functional diagnosis in surgery of congenital heart diseases for appraising the condition of the myocardium. |
