The informativeness of noninvasive methods for diagnosing mitral insufficiency caused by dysfunction of the papillary muscles was studied in 2 groups of ischemic heart disease patients: with postinfarction aneurysm of the heart and without it. Noninvasive methods were informative in the diagnosis of mitral insufficiency in ischemic heart disease patients who had no left ventricle aneurysm. Left ventriculography was recommended for determining the degree of regurgitation in patients with cardiac aneurysm.
