[Clinical and laboratory support for multiple-modality treatment of rheumatic patients with mitral valve disease].

In 158 rheumatic patients with mitral valvular disease (MVD), clinical-and-laboratory indices were studied together with a possibility for correction of the detected disorders in a multiple-modality staged treatment involving basic drug therapy, EHF-therapy, and sanatorium-health resort stage of rehabilitation. It has been found out that EHF-therapy and sanatorium-health resort treatment have a positive effect on the clinical course of the trouble and on the laboratory indices for the inflammatory process contributing to optimization of medicamentous treatment of rheumatic patients with MVD.
