The efficiency was studied of transesophageal electrocardiostimulation of the left ventricle (TEESLP) in controlling attacks of atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac insufficiency as well as its association with preliminary administration of cordaron. Treatment was carried out in 19 patients. After (TEESLP) the attack was controlled in 15 patients (26.3%). In cases where primary TEESLP was inefficient TEESLP was repeated after administration of cordaron in doses that do not inhibit the contractile capacity of the myocardium. It proved possible to control the paroxysm in 93% where primary TEESPL failed. There was relationship between the sizes of the left atrium and the result which permits to predict the efficacy of this method.

The authors report efficacy of using laser puncture and pointed massage in controlling hypertensive crises in patients suffering of hypertensive disease. The arterial pressure was reduced mainly due to decrease of the peripheral resistance. This method of treatment was more effective in patients with moderate and significant hypertrophy of the left ventricle as compared with patients showing marked hypertrophy of the left ventricle.

A study is presented of the results of laser puncture in combination with drug treatment of patients with hypertensive disease using an association of different acupuncture points. The values of hemodynamics were evaluated by routine techniques of tetrapolar chest rheo- and kinetocardiography. The use of laser puncture allowed to reduce the dose of hypotensive drugs.
