Abstract:
Results of transmyocardial laser revascularisation (TMLR) of the myocardium are analyzed. Two types of laser equipment were used domestic laser high-energy CO2 synchronized with patient's ECG, and XeCl laser Max-20. 32 patients underwent TMLR as a single method of surgical correction of the disease, 15 in combination with other methods of myocardium revascularisation. Obtained data testify that TMLR is a highly effective procedure in selective patients with IHD. Results confirm necessity of differential surgical policy for ischemic heart disease that permits to use adequate method of myocardium revascularisation for each patient.

Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage.

Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...
