Using diagnostic transesophageal electrical cardiostimulation, sinus node function, sinoatrial and atrioventricular conductivity have been studied in 30 patients with acute clophelin poisoning. The results of pharmacological tests with atropine and alupent are presented. Control examinations have been performed on discharge. The results of pharmacological tests have shown that clophelin effect could be realized via imbalance of autonomous heart innervation. The technique of diagnostic transesophageal electrical cardiostimulation is recommended for wider use in clinical toxicology.
