title: [The role of multispiral computed tomographic coronarography].
abstract: The aim of the study was to assess the use of multispiral computed tomographic coronarography (MSCT-CG) in comparison with conventional coronary angiography. Overall 62 patients aged 45-72 years were examined, the MSCT-CG was conducted in 38 patients. The sensitivity of MSCT-CG was 92%, the specificity - 91,2%, in comparison with the CAG. The prognostic value of negative test was 95,7%, the prognostic value of positive test was 84%, overall accuracy was counted up to 91,5%. Though, the MSCT-CG showed certain overestimation in calculating the stenosis degree and, thus, false positive results, in cases with calcined atherosclerotic plaques. Main advantages of MSCT-CG were: non-invasiveness, possibility of vessel lumen, arterial wall and structure of the plaque assessment.
