[Changes of A and V waves in transesophageal electrogram].

The transesophageal electrogram is registered in case of complicated setting up by means of surface electrocardiogram the relation of the atrial complex and electric activity. Various biophysical factors, including the electric conduction of the electrode environment in the esophagus, influence the quality or the transesophageal electrogram (amplitude, interval of frequency, phase). The objective of the research is to show the conduction of the electrode environment in the esophagus of the persons under investigation who were asked to swallow some big gulps of drinking water. The analysis of the monopolar and bipolar transesophageal electrogram of thirty volunteers showed a steady statistic growth of the amplitude of a and v waves and the spectral force of the signal. The setoff components of high frequency high frequency reflect the process of the depolarization of the atrium.

[Pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation with intravenous and oral propafenone].

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous and oral propafenone for termination of recent onset (<48 hrs) atrial fibrillation. Forty-seven nonvalvular patients with atrial fibrillation were included in the study. Sinus rhythm was restored in 19/31 (61.3%) patients after intravenous treatment: in 15/31 (48.4%) atrial fibrillation was stopped after bolus of propafenone in dose of 2 mg/kg body weight, in 4/16 (25.0%) - by followed infusion of medicine in dose of 0.008 mg/kg/min during 2 hrs. A single 600 mg oral dose of propafenone restored sinus rhythm in 9/16 (56.2%) patients during 4 hrs. Transformation of atrial fibrillation into regular atrial flutter was observed in 4 cases; in 1 of them right bundle branch block developed.
