FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of medicine, namely to cardiology. Echocardiography is performed and the thickness of interventricular septum, the end-diastolic volume index and the degree of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle are determined. Prognosis of high-grade ventricular arrhythmia in this category of patients is carried out with the help of the developed formula using the above mentioned predictors. At the value of the prognostic coefficient ≥ 0.4, high-grade ventricular arrhythmia in this category of patients is predicted.
EFFECT: method allows with high accuracy predict high-grade ventricular arrhythmia in patients with chronic heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
