[Basic trends in the use of mathematics and computer technics in cardiology]
Abstract:
Five cardinal, according to the author, trends in the utilization of mathematics and computing technique in cardiology are discussed, viz. in the diagnosis, including mass-examinations of the population; in prognosing, with screening at the time of mass-examination of the population groups of persons presenting risks as to the development of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, hypertensive disease, etc.; in the treatment; in the organization of information-search systems; in modelling. The significance of the cited trends for theoretical and practical cardiology is shown on examples from experience of the work carried out by research bodies headed by the author.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
