[Computed tomography in cardiology: the diagnostic aspects].
Computerized tomography (CT) was used to investigate 306 patients with a variety of heart and aortal diseases: acquired and congenital defects, coronary disease, tumors of the heart, pericarditis, aortic aneurysm. CT allows the assessment of certain functional (end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes, the ejection fraction, the motility of left-ventricular walls, systolic myocardial thickening) as well as anatomical parameters of the heart structure: the condition of the pericardium, heart cavities, induration and calcification of the valve apparatus, myocardial thickness, the presence of intra-cavity formations, and the state of the aorta, pulmonary artery, vena cava and pulmonary veins, including the assessment of the patency of aortocoronary shunts.
