About the methods of nonconventional ischemic cardiac disease diagnostics

Ischemic cardiac disease is a condition caused by disordered balance between thecoronary blood-flow and the metabolic needs of cardiac muscle. Thus the imbalance between cardiac musсle’s (myocardium) oxygen needs and its delivery leads to the cardiac muscle’s oxygen starvation (myocardial hypoxia) and to accumulation of toxic metabolism products in the myocardium causing the pain. The main reasons of ischemic cardiac disease are atherosclerosis and spasm of coronary arteries [1,2]. Disordered patency of coronary arteries also causes ischemia of myocardium – an insufficient blood and oxygen delivery to the cardiac muscle. The clinical presentations of ischemic cardiac disease are listed below.
