We have been studying feasible surgical alternatives for treating congestive heart failure, including the use of cardiomyoplasty. In this operation, skeletal muscles are conditioned, through electrical stimulation, to provide active tension on diseased myocardium, which improves left ventricular performance and ultimately increases cardiac output. We performed cardiomyoplasty in a 37-year-old man with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy. He was discharged from the hospital 2.5 months after the operation, and he did not require medical therapy. We believe this to be the 1st cardiomyoplasty performed in Ukraine.
我们一直在研究治疗充血性心力衰竭的可行手术替代方案，包括使用心肌成形术。在该手术中，通过电刺激使骨骼肌适应，以对患病心肌提供主动张力，从而改善左心室功能并最终增加心输出量。我们对一名患有严重缺血性心肌病的37岁男性进行了心肌成形术。术后2.5个月他出院了，且不需要药物治疗。我们认为这是在乌克兰进行的首例心肌成形术。
