The article deals with the description and analysis of the first two operations undertaken for the development of the method and the first clinical use of extended myoventriculoplasty with programmed cardiosynchronized electroneurostimulation. The authors elaborated the items of stage-by-stage training of the skeletal muscle for its adaptation to work in a regimen of the contracting heart, and the techniques of myoventriculoplasty in patients with a complicated form of ischemic heart disease and dilatation cardiomyopathy. Apart from that, the authors approved for the first time in the clinic an original Soviet-made programmed cardiosynchronized electroneurostimulator intended for implantation. The immediate postoperative results were satisfactory.
