Summary:For the first time the principles of evaluation of the blood pressure levels in atrial fibrillation have been suggested. They reflect absolutely precisely the degree of haemodynamic disturbances in atrial fibrillation and they can be used as the criteria for assessment of these patients treatment effectiveness. A new non-invasive modified method of blood pressure measurement in atrial fibrillation is suggested and it can estimate all the spectrum of fluctuation blood pressure in cardiac arrhythmia. The accuracy of this method is equal to the invasive direct method. The simplicity of modified method allows us to recommend it to the physicians for measuring the blood pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation. Nowadays the modified auscultative method of blood pressure measurement represents itself as exclusive and the most informative method. The described principle of blood pressure measurement in atrial fibrillation should serve the basis for computerized systems
