To conduct large-scale medical examinations of the population with a view to detecting cardiovascular affections an experimental automated complex has been set up. The program of the examination to be instituted is largely drawn up conformable to recommendation of the WHO. In the complex are envisaged collection and registration of the data on the patient, biochemical analyses of the blood and urine, compilation of the case-history, anthropometric measurements and determination of the arterial blood pressure, ECG recording, veloergometric load test measurements, along with spirometric ones and the measurement of the subcutaneous fat layer thickness. The processing of the information obtained is done at the computation under "off-line" conditions.

Background: Feeding patients' self-reported medical history into the diagnostic care process may accelerate workflows in clinical routine.
Methods: We prospectively piloted a novel medical history documentation system in a German cardiological outpatient practice and evaluated its feasibility and perceived usefulness. Based on a generic software that allows to record structured information, a customized solution for the cooperating practice was developed and implemented.
Purpose The purpose of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the role of different echocardiography parameters in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. While echocardiography examination with calculation of ejection fraction (EF), is pivotal for patient monitoring, its operator dependence and insensitivity to subtle changes in left ventricular (LV) contractility present challenges. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), derived from speckle tracking, is more sensitive and stable than EF.

X-ray coronary angiography is the most common tool for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. It involves the injection of contrast agents into coronary vessels using a catheter to highlight the coronary vessel structure. Typically, multiple 2D X-ray projections are recorded from different angles to improve visualization.
