[The use of multi-spiral computer tomography for early diagnosis of coronary artery stenoses in patients with high risk of development ischemic heart disease].

Results of the study of clinico-diagnostic value of multispiral computed tomography in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease (IHD) are described in this paper. We have used 64-slice spiral computer tomography in examination of 49 patients with high IHD risk referred to the cardiological hospital for IHD exclusion. We have demonstrated high capacity of this method in diagnosis of early stages of atherosclerotic coronary artery involvement.

[Significance of stress echocardiography in patients with angiographically intact coronary arteries].

With the aim of assessment of the significance of stress echocardiography in patients with unchanged coronary arteries we analyzed data from 75 patients in whom coronary angiography (CAG) detected no hemodynamically significant narrowing of coronary arteries. In 38 patients coronary syndrome X (CSX) was revealed. In the group of patients with CSX transient disturbances of local contractility were significantly more frequently observed compared with patients without CSX (52% compared with 21%, respectively).

[3-D X-ray contrast rotational angiography in vascular pathology diagnostics].

The experience of 3-D X-ray contrast rotational angiography use is analysed. The case examples of virtual applications use on various anatomic areas are described. Informational value of routine and 3-D angiography is comparatively evaluated.

[The efficacy of alteplase in pulmonary embolism treatment].

The results of pulmonary embolism treatment with streptase in 76 patients are discussed. All patients had submassive or massive pulmonary embolism. 66 (86%) of patients recovered.
