title: [The use of multi-spiral computer tomography for early  diagnosis of coronary artery stenoses in patients with high risk of  development ischemic heart disease].
abstract: Results of the study of clinico-diagnostic value of multispiral computed tomography in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease (IHD) are described in this paper. We have used 64-slice spiral computer tomography in examination of 49 patients with high IHD risk referred to the cardiological hospital for IHD exclusion. We have demonstrated high capacity of this method in diagnosis of early stages of atherosclerotic coronary artery involvement. This will allow timely detection of such patients and to intervene on modifiable IHD risk factors with the aim of lowering risk of development of unfavorable clinical manifestations of IHD, such as acute coronary syndrome and sudden death.
