The authors examined 90 patients by the method of transoesophageal atrial stimulation with different indications. They consider transoesophageal atrial stimulation a suitable method for basic examination of an impaired functional status of the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular conductivity. It is suitable for assessment of predisposition to supraventricular disorders of the rhythm and for testing the effectiveness of treatment of impaired supraventricular rhythm. The authors use it also for a modified loading test in patients with coronary heart disease. They evaluate transoesophagel al atrial stimulation as a simple, safe, non-invasive method, practically without contraindications, which extends our diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities, is not demanding from the technical and economic aspect and can be used in any hospital.
