[Effect of x-ray contrast agents on the thromboresistant properties of vascular walls]
Abstract:
It is established that the x-ray contrast agents urografin, omnipak, and ultravist produce a dose-dependent decrease in the thromboresistant properties of vascular walls in experimental rats. This effect is determined by the individual properties of substances rater than by their belonging to a certain class of ionic or nonionic compounds. Preliminary administration of n3-polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish oil offers a significant protection against the negative action of x-ray contrast agents and retains the antiaggregant activity of the vessel wall intima.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
