[Evaluation of the state of cardiodynamics in patients with artificial pacemaker]

Cardiodynamic parameters were studied in 23 patients with an implanted cardiostimulator both at rest and in conditions of an isometric exercise test. Three types of blood circulation were identified, namely eu-, hypo-, and hyperkinetic. The individual types of circulation were shown to be correlated with the severity of the clinical course of the underlying disease. The isometric exercise test allowed the researchers to differentiate between adequate and inadequate responses of hemodynamics in patients with an artificial pacemaker. It is concluded advisable to investigate the hemodynamic state of patients with an implanted artificial pacemaker so as to decide on any corrective measures that may be needed.
