The possibilities of improvement of diagnosis of patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis
The article presents analysis of endovascular treatment of 166 patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis. It is proved that in patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis having vital but hibernated myocardium in the zone of affected artery the restoration of coronary blood flow permits not only to eliminate signs of chronic ischemia, to slow down post-infarction remodeling of heart but to restore lost functions of hibernated myocardium. On the whole, these occurrences can benevolently influence the prognosis of disease. The reliable dependence between terms of restoration of coronary blood low and function of hibernated myocardium is established.
