[Hemodynamic aspects of the transvenous electrodestruction of the atrioventricular junction].

Transvenous electrodestruction of the atrioventricular junction is an effective method of surgical treatment for supraventricular arrhythmias (paroxysmal tachysystoles) refractory to medication. However, it is central hemodynamic status alone that can be an objective indicator of favorable clinical effect. Major central hemodynamic parameters were examined in 52 patients before and after the operation. Considerable late postoperative improvement of the general condition and normalization of major central hemodynamic parameters were noted in most cases.
