[Experience in using integral rheography for evaluating the hemodynamic indices in emergency states in cardiology]

The work deals with the comparative assessment of integral rheography, a modern method for studying hemodynamic indices. As compared to the method of dye dilution and radiocardiography, integral rheography has proved to be sufficiently precise and at the same time has definite advantages as a method of express diagnosis in patients with acute cardiovascular diseases. As compared with the other method of indirect determination of the cardiac output, tetrapolar rheography, integral rheography is more suitable for being used in emergencies, particularly in cases with disorders of the rhythm of the cardiac activity.
