FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to clinical cardiology. The electrocardiogram and its first derivative in 12 standard leads are recorded in the patient with breast cancer. Herewith, while administering a course dose of doxorubicin, a ventricle activation rate is calculated as a relation of the maximum amplitude of a differentiated curve of QRS complex to the maximum amplitude of QRS complex of the common usual electrocardiogram (s-1). An average arithmetic value and the ventricle activation rate 42.3 s-1 are stated for each examined patient and thereunder considered as a critical value for diagnostics of disturbed electric activity of myocardium.
EFFECT: technique allows for early detection of disturbed electrical activity of heart in patients with breast cancer while treating with cardiotoxic doxorubicin.
