To study the state of the contractile function of the myocardium and the function of the left ventricle with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 27 patients were examined. The main method of examination was mono- and bi-dimensional echocardiography. As a result of this examination it became possible to determine the output fraction, the rate of circulatory contraction of the myocardial fibres, the degree of shortening of the antero-posterior dimension of the left ventricle and a number of other indices of the contractile properties of the interventricular septum and the posterior wall of the left ventricle which enables one to use different medicinal agents in such patients under the ECG control.
