Diagnostic methods
Cardiac catheterization
Catheterization hearts is a diagnostic procedure that allows you to detect blockage or narrowing (stenosis) of the coronary arteries by administering a substance that is clearly visible on the X-ray.
This manipulation provides information about the functioning of the heart, heart valves, and coronary arteries by which a heart attack or angina can be prevented.
CT scans of arterial plaques have learned to determine the risks of heart disease
In late July 2021, researchers showed that measuring atherosclerotic coronary artery plaques in the course CT hearts could be used to predict the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular events.
Myocardial perfusion imaging with CT angiography and single-photon emission CT is considered the accepted research method to assess ischemia and stenosis in patients with heart disease. Scientists analyzed data on patients with severe coronary heart disease (IBS) who have already undergone CT angiography of the heart. They concluded that adding to the estimated risk factors of these coronary plaques makes it possible to more accurately predict the risk of stroke or death. Specifically, they concluded that the segment involvement score (SIS) or percentage of plaques in the affected arteries are independent predictors of severe cardiovascular events.
 | Our results suggest that in high-risk patients, IBS of arterial plaques have additional predictive value along with already established criteria for predicting cardiovascular outcomes, said lead researcher Ahmed Ibrahim Ahmed of the Houston Methodist Center for Heart and Vascular Research in Houston, Texas. |  |
The study included 956 patients (54% of men) with suspected IBS underwent imaging studies of myocardial perfusion between January 2016 and June 2020. SIS was defined as the sum of segments with atherosclerotic plaques, regardless of the degree of stenosis, from an 18-segment coronary artery model. Patients were followed up for serious adverse cardiovascular events. After three years of follow-up, these events were reported in 102 patients, allowing for valid conclusions.[1]
