Abstract:
Exhaled breath analysis is a novel tool for diagnostics of different diseases. Taking into account the secretory function of the lungs, the composition of exhaled breath is different in physiological and pathological conditions. In this review we consider of some substances which content vary in cardiovascular diseases - pentane, isoprene, carbon monoxide and trimethylamine. Modern technologies allow to move the analysis of exhaled breath from research laboratories into clinical practice. Thus, a new tool for real time of screening various cardiovascular diseases has appeared in the arsenal of physicians.
