title: Method of mosaic electrocardiotopography and its practical use in diagnostics of ischaemic heart disease.
abstract: The results of mosaic electrocardiotopographic (MECTG) and coronarographic examinations in 217 men with ichaemic heart diseases (IHD) are compared. On the body surface the zones were identified that corresponded with projections of myocardial electric potentials from individual segments perfused from the main coronary arteries. A distinct correlation was found between the MECTG indicators and the condition of the coronary circulation. The informative value of MECTG in the detection of IHD and determination of the extent of myocardial lesion in individual perfused segments, and the contribution of the method combined with coronarography to the diagnostics of noncoronarogenic myocardial lesions are pointed out.
