[ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY TECHNOLOGIES DIAGNOSIS OF ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE BY MAHNITOTOKARDIOHRAFIYI].

The article is devoted to clinical--economic analysis of modern diagnostic technology--magnetocardiography by analyzing the "cost-effectiveness". Economic effectiveness of diagnosis of coronary artery disease using magnetocardiography in terms of cost/effectivness is shown. The economicaly optimal sequence of several noninvasive methods for diagnosis of coronary artery disease is defined.

Evaluation of magnetocardiography indices in patients with cardiac diseases.

The purpose of this work was to reveal pathological electrophysiological changes in patients with different cardiological diseases by means of magnetocardiographic (MCG) mapping. MCG mapping was performed with a 7-channel magnetocardiograph without a magnetically shielded room. We divided the 159 subjects studied into seven groups: 44 healthy controls, 42 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), 11 patients affected with myocardiac infarction (MI), 11 with hypertension (HT), 14 with silent ischemia (SI), 13 with heart failure (HF), 14 with fibrillation (FB), and 10 patients after stunning of coronary arteries (ST).

Low-cost 7-channel magnetocardiographic system for unshielded environment.

The purpose of this work was to develop a low-cost magnetocardiography (MCG) system for use at cardiology clinics, without any magnetic shielding. The device consists of seven channels: four signal and three reference channels. The signal channels are based on relaxation-oscillation SQUIDs.
