- The authors compare the efficacy of ventricular contraction number monitoring in patients with atrium fibrillation permanent form which is determined by clinical criteria and by Holter ECG monitoring data. It is demonstrated that the effective monitoring is better reached in administration of beta-blockers with 24-hours action. Holter ECG monitoring allows to reveal patients with high risk of sudden death also the complications after the treatment.
