Реферат. Введение. Одним из методов выявления безболевой ишемии миокарда является оценка его перфузии. Для этого высокочувствительным методом считается однофотонная эмиссионная компьютерная томография. Она является “золотым стандартом” в диагностике преходящей ишемии миокарда, обусловленной как коронарогенными, так и некоронарогенными причинами. Цель исследования – анализ данных однофотонной эмиссионной компьютерной томографии в покое и после нагрузочной пробы у пациентов с безболевой ишемией миокарда и обычной формы стенокардии. Материал и методы. Проанализированы 78 историй болезни пациентов с безболевой и болевой ишемией миокарда. В качестве нагрузочной пробы применялась велоэргометрия. Оценивались динамика перфузии, сократимости и электрокардиографическая картина. Статистическая обработка проведена с использованием параметрических и непараметрических критериев. Результаты и их обсуждение. Пациенты с безболевой ишемией миокарда достоверно реже подвергаются коронарному стентированию и коронарному шунтированию по сравнению с группой с типичной стенокардией. Наиболее частой причиной остановки нагрузочной пробы в группе с безболевой ишемией миокарда является депрессия сегмента ST, что происходит в 6 раз чаще, чем у пациентов с обычной формой стенокардии. В группе с безболевой ишемией миокарда снижение сократимости миокарда наблюдается на 20% чаще, в 2,5 раза реже возникают нарушения сердечного ритма по типу желудочковой экстрасистолии, в 3 раза чаще возникает гипертонический тип реакции на физическую нагрузку, чем у пациентов с обычной формой стенокардии. Выводы. Однофотонная эмиссионная компьютерная томография с использованием нагрузочных проб позволяет выявить различия у пациентов с безболевой и болевой формой ишемии миокарда.

Abstract. Introduction. In the diagnosis of silent myocardial ischemia, single-photon emission computed tomography is of great importance. One of the methods for detecting silent myocardial ischemia is the assessment of its perfusion. For this, single-photon emission computed tomography is considered to be a highly sensitive method. It is the "gold standard" in the diagnosis of transient myocardial ischemia due to both coronary and non-coronary causes. Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the data of single-photon emission computed tomography at rest and after a stress test in patients with silent myocardial ischemia and the usual form of angina pectoris. Materials and Methods. 78 case histories of patients with silent and ordinary myocardial ischemia were analyzed. Bicycle ergometry was used as a stress test. The dynamics of perfusion, contractility and electrocardiographic picture were evaluated. Statistical analysis was carried out using parametric and nonparametric criteria. Results and Discussion. Patients with silent myocardial ischemia are significantly less likely to undergo coronary stenting and coronary bypass grafting compared to the group with typical angina pectoris. The most common reason for stopping the exercise test in the group with silent myocardial ischemia is ST depression, which occurs 6 times more often than in patients with the usual form of angina. In the group with silent myocardial ischemia, a decrease in myocardial contractility is observed 20% more often, 2.5 times less often there are ventricular extrasystole, 3 times more often there is a hypertonic type of reaction to physical activity than in patients with the usual form of angina pectoris. Conclusions. Single photon emission computed tomography using stress tests reveals differences in patients with silent and ordinary forms of myocardial ischemia.
