Computed tomography in cardiology: history and perspectives
The review article highlights the main stages of the formation of computed tomography (CT) as a key method used in modern cardiology. The progress of CT scanners is directly related to the increase in the number of detectors, and thus, with an increase ...

Computational Analysis of Haemodynamic Indices in Synthetic Atherosclerotic Coronary Netwroks
Haemodynamic indices are widely used in clinical practice when deciding on a particular type of treatment. Low quality of the computed tomography data and tachycardia complicate interpretation of the measured or simulated values. In this work, we present

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...

Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]
Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.

Surgery for Aneurysmal Coronary Artery Fistulas to the Coronary Sinus in Adults
Surgical treatment of aneurysmal distal congenital coronary artery fistulas depends on size and anatomy. From 2008 to 2021, we applied a new surgical technique in 7 adult patients: proximal and distal fistula closure, opening of aneurysmal artery, and ...
