[Complications and mortality in temporary and permanent electrostimulation of the heart].
The author, after performing a brief analysis of the observed patients, treated according to the more important methods of heart electrostimulation and illustrating that in four tables discusses the problem of the complications he had observed. He describes briefly the causes of their presence in the clinical practice and proposes a working classification of the latter. Then, proceeding from his experience and the literature data, he discusses each larger group of complications, presenting percentages that were found in his patients in the course of his long work upon that problem. At the end he draws the attention to the mortality problem, causes and percentage, observed among his patients. As a convinience for the clinical practice he subdividies mortality into early and late and presents his good reason for the problem.
