MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AND INVASIVE CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN CORONARY HEART DISEASE PATIENTS
The purpose of research is the comparability of detection of significant coronary artery stenosis using multislice computed tomography and invasive coronary angiography in patients with symptomatic stable angina of 2-3 functional classes, as well as patients with asymptomatic course and atypical clinical manifestations of angina. A total of 64 patients with coronary artery disease who were hospitalized in the department of endovascular methods of diagnosis and treatment №1 of the Republican cardiology center in Ufa have been examined. All the patients underwent selective invasive coronary angiography and multislice computed tomography (MSCT). All the parameters were compared segment by segment in each coronary artery. The study excluded patients with chronic heart failure, permanent atrial fibrillation, with uncontrolled sinus tachycardia, as well as patients with individual intolerance to radiopaque substance. The study analyzed data from studies in order to identify significant stenoses. It also revealed comparability of MSCT and invasive selective coronary angiography results.
