The condition of hemodynamics and the contractile function of the myocardium are considered before and after aorto-coronary shunting performed in patients with critically severe affection of the coronary arteries and the heart muscle. Of great prognostic importance is the final diastolic volume of the ventricles, its relation to the stroke ejection, as well as the ejection fraction. The greater the final diastolic volume of the ventricle and the smaller the stroke ejection, the higher is the risk of applying operative treatment to the patient.
