Abstract

Hemodynamics and left ventricular myocardial contractility in 170 patients who underwent surgery of prostatic adenoma were examined in preoperative period and 16 days after single-stage transvesical adenomectomy. The age of the patients varied from 52 to 85 years. Echocardiography and the dilution method were used for the evaluation. The increase of end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, stroke volume, cardiac index, was registered. The combined pharmacological treatment made it possible to decrease the number of operative and postoperative cardiovascular complications.
