title: [The use of differential reflectometry in the EHF range as a new method in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease].
abstract: Described in the article is a new method of EHF differential reflectometry for ischemic heart disease (IHD), which relies on measurement of the anisotropy factor (AF) in sites of precardiac integumentum of patients in the millimeter range. A total of 30 patients were examined divided into six groups according to different functional classes. It is for the first time that anisotropy zones have been identified in IHD patients. The reflexogenic zone in the III intercostal space along the parasternal line was found to be of the most informative value. It is in this very zone that the largest AFmax values are achieved for myocardial infarction (MI) group exceeding the corresponding values for the rest of stenocardia groups by 20 to 100%. It follows from the foregoing that our method of MM-reflectometry permits diagnosing IHD together with differentiating the state of those patients presenting with angina pectoris and MI.
