Review Case Reports
[Anticoagulant therapy in connection with cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation].
We present data on possibility of anticoagulant therapy in conjunction with electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation using novel anticoagulant - dabigatran - and a case of successful lysis of thrombus in the left ventricular cavity at the background of its administration.

Aim of the study was determination of physiological limits of QT-intervals and its derivative values in healthy children and adolescents during graded exercise tests. We examined 100 healthy boys and girls aged 11-15 years (mean age 13.4+/-2.1 years) and performed electrocardiography at rest and standard veloergometry (VEM) in all of them. We analyzed corrected intervals according to Bazett (QTc=QT/RR) and Fredericia (FQTc/3RR) formulas. ⋯ Maximal QTc lengthening in the process of test did not exceed 50 ms in any of the examined persons. Hysteresis of QTc interval was equal to 21+/-6 (15-25) ms. The conclusion was made that algorithm of assessment of QT interval changes during exercise test should include initial values of QTc calculated according to the Bazett formula, maximal QTc value, level of exercise at which it was registered, maximal increase of QTc during exercise, and QTc interval hysteresis.

Bisoprolol (bisoprolol fumarate) - -cardioselective blocker, does not possess intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane stabilizing activity. The main indications for bisoprolol are arterial hypertension (AH) and heart failure. This article provides an overview of the literature on the potential uses of bisoprolol in the treatment of hypertension. ⋯ Proofs of the high efficiency of antianginal bisoprola and justified the use of the drug in patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease. The capabilities of bisoprolol in the perioperative correction of hypertension. The data and pharmacoeconomic properties of bisoprolol generic counterparts.
