[Systolic and diastolic function of heart ventricles and their remodeling in adult patients with congenital heart disease in phase of Eisenmenger's syndrome]
55 patients with congenital heart diseases (CHD) in phase of Eisenmereger's syndrome (ES) (11 patients with ductus arteriosus (DA), 28--ventricular septal defect (VSD), 16--atrial septal defect (ASD)) at age of 14-53 (mean 29.7+/-3.2) were examined. Heart failure corresponded to I-II functional classes (NYHA) in 28 (50.9%) patients, III-IV--in 27 (49.1%). Diagnosis of ES was confirmed by ECG, Doppler-Echo-CG, catheterization and ventriculography. Moderate right ventricle systolic dysfunction was revealed and confirmed by its dilation and deterioration of inferior vena cava (IVC) (for 156.0% in comparision with healthy people, P
