Treatment
of patients with malign hematological diseases is directed to
the apilation of antineoplastic drugs that have different chemical
structure. Antineoplastic drugs that are used in the treatment
of patients can effect contractility of miocards, its irritation
and perfomance of stimulus. Malign hematological diseases seldom
effect directly cardiovascular system; that is why the occurred
changes are mainly consequence of toxic effects of antineoplastic
drugs. The goal of the study: determine toxic effect of antineoplastic
drugs to cardiovascular system. The autors were carrying out analysis
of the cardiovascular system in patients with malign hematological
disease. Besides clinical, laboratory findings, the following
was used: electrocardiogram, radiogram of heart and lungs and
heart echosonography when there was indication. Problem for clinical-hematologist
is how to achieve, by therapy, maximum effect against stations
of malignant process with minimal damages of healthy organs of
the host. Reaction of patients to antineoplastic drugs is individual
which requires daily assessment of cardiovascular system function
and control must be directed to anamnesis data, regularity of
blood pressure and heart rhythm, guality of sounds, occurrence
of new sound phenomenom (murmurs) based on indication of electrocardiogram,
radiogram and echosonography of heart.
