The author analyzed dynamics of echocardiography figures under different types structural and geometric remodeling of left ventricle of the heart during two-year treatment. 114 patients (average age 62.2 +/- 1.1) with ischemic heart disease in combination with II-III stage arterial hypertension, complicated with heart failure of class II to class II according to the classification of New York Heart Association and different cardiac arrhythmias have been examined. Long term therapy has been demonstrated to be of limited success in terms of influence on diastolic characteristics of structurally changed myocardium in patients with concentric hypertrophy of the heart. The positive effect of the treatment on contraction function of the heart of patients with eccentric hypertrophy was proved to have tendency to increase during long term treatment.
