FIELD: medicine, cardiology, cardiosurgery. SUBSTANCE: method deals with X-ray contrast left ventriculography in the right frontal diagonal projection during final diastolic phase. Inside the contour obtained a circle of maximal diameter is made. Contour area and circle area are estimated together with sphericity factor by the following formula: . Estimation of total rejection fraction and degree of blood flow disorders are shown by using a Table. EFFECT: higher efficiency and accuracy to evaluate noninvasively the degree of blood flow process disorders in left ventricular cavity, more simplified method to determine total fraction of cardiac rejection. 1 tbl, 1 dwg
