[Importance of current ultrasonic study methods for the diagnosis, follow-up of treatment effectiveness and prognosis of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy].

The potentialities and importance of methods of ultrasonic investigation including two-dimension and Doppler echocardiography were demonstrated in the diagnosis of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and in the detection of hemodynamic characteristics of the disease in different patients. Hemodynamic characteristics revealed by echocardiography could serve as a basis for an individual choice of therapy and assessment of its effectiveness during long-term treatment.
