METHOD OF PREDICTING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY HEART DISEASE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/00 A61B5/402 A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to cardiology, and can be used for predicting in patients with proved isolated stable stenocardia of atherosclerotic origin development of occlusion of coronary arteries in form of myocardial infarction or diagnostics of old subclinical versions of myocardial infarction in form of post-infarction cardiosclerosis in case if there are no or it is impossible to obtain direct clinical-instrumental data proving presence of said pathology. Anamnestic risk factors, as well as echocardiographic indices of hemodinamics are determined and prognostic coefficient (PC) is calculated by formula elaborated by the author. If value PC>1, conclusion about liability to myocardial infarction or possibility of old (sub clinical) one, is made, if value PC≤1 - about absence of said disease.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase prediction accuracy.
