Возможности мультиспиральной компьютерной томографии в оценке атеросклеротического поражения коронарных артерий

В настоящее время не существует общепринятых методов обнаружения нестабильных атеросклеротических бляшек, хотя многие исследования последних лет посвящены данному вопросу. В статье представлены современные возможности мультиспиральной компьютерной томографии в визуализации атеросклеротического поражения коронарного русла, в том числе в выявлении нестабильного поражения, что может помочь в диагностике субклинического обострения ишемической болезни сердца, а также в стратификации риска развития острых коронарных осложнений.
