[Radiologic evaluation of effectiveness of physical training in patients with myocardial infarction]
Abstract:
The findings of two-projection large-image fluorography of the thorax of 134 men aged 32 to 60 with a history of myocardial infarction are presented. Physical rehabilitation of these patients was either traditional (controls) or enhanced by physical training (test group). X-Ray characteristics of the pulmonary vascular bed help to detect left ventricular insufficiency even in cases when there are no clinical symptoms of it. Time course of X-ray and cardiometrical data helps not only to assess the efficacy of training, but permits detection of the progress of left ventricular insufficiency as well. Cardiometrical parameters (volume of the heart, left ventricular coefficient, hvs index, right-atrial coefficient) may be used to predict the course of coronary heart disease in the postinfarction period.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion, evaluates...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
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...
