Abstract

The authors studied the therapeutic effect of lidocainee peroral forms in case of rhythm disorders, accompanying with various cardiac diseases. The results obtained revealed that in 76 per cent of the cases with ventricular extrasystoles, the treatment result was very good, with complete disappearing of extrasystoles. Good effect was found in 18 per cent, with the recording of some rare, single extrasystoles towards the end of the treatment, and the treatment had no effect on 6 per cent of the patients. The drug proved to be effective in the cases with supraventricular extrasystoles. Lasting result was attained in 89.36 per cent of the patients treated. Due to the favourable therapeutic effect and good tolerance the authors recommended lidocain peroral form for wide application in the treatment of rhythm disorders.
