Capabilities of the ecg dispersion mapping in evaluation of myocardial lesions in pratient with cardiovascular diseases and alcohol consumption
Abstract
Diseases of the cardiovascular system continues to be the leading cause of mortality in the Russian Federation. It is known that alcohol contributes a role in the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. In this study the affect of different doses of alcohol on the course of cardiovascular disease was evaluated using the method of ECG dispersion mapping. The study found the more pronounced changes in the electrophysiological properties of the myocardium in patients with diseases of the cardiovascular system, consuming 5 and more doses of alcohol per day compared with moderate drinking or denies the use of alcohol by patients.
