    Abstract:
    AIM: To test electric stimulation of the skeletal muscles in rehabilitation of patients with complicated myocardial infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 27 patients with macrofocal myocardial infarction (age 67 +/- 2.4 years) with persisting left ventricular insufficiency in the beginning of the subacute period. From day 3-4 all the patients were subjected to electrostimulation of large skeletal muscles (ESSM). The procedures were made daily for 2 hours using the Mioritm-040 unit. In the course of the first session the study was made of the changes in the intracardiac hemodynamics and doppler parameters of circulation in the popliteal artery. RESULTS: In the course of ESSM of 10-15 sessions none of the patients had anginal attacks, aggravation of dyspnea, arrhythmia episodes. After the course there was a marked increase in left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume. CONCLUSION: ESSM is safe in complicated myocardial infarction, prevent unwanted effects of long-term stay in bed, improves intracardiac hemodynamics.
