[The use of hemosorption and plasmapheresis for treating cardiac arrhythmias (a preliminary report)].

Abstract	The authors present pilot experience in extracorporeal blood purification (hemosorption, plasmapheresis) aimed at correction of cardiac arrhythmia. Seven responders of 8 patients treated had less frequent episodes of cardiac fibrillation the severity of which decreased, they suffered no more from high-grade extrasystoles, were put on reduced doses of antiarrhythmic drugs. The response is attributed to improvement of blood rheology and elimination of arrhythmogenic substances.
