Abstract
The novelty of the work lies
in the methodology for evaluating segmental quantitative criteria of the left
ventricle in accordance with the blood supply zones of the coronary basin in
patients with coronary heart disease to restore the function of the heart as a
pump from the perspective of revascularization of myocardial sites. The
calculation is based on the second Papp-Guldin theorem, where the volume of the
body obtained as a result of the rotation of a flat figure around its
non-intersecting axis is equal to the product of the area of this figure by the
length of the circle described by the center of gravity of this figure. The
authors proposed a new method of technical calculation that does not violate
the physical foundations of the formula, but does not require determining the
center of gravity of each segment, which is a possible but very time-consuming
process. In the future, after a loading drug test with nitroglycerin, the
reserve potential of various areas of the myocardium and the expediency in the
proposed revascularization of the coronary bed are determined.

A.N. Bakulev Center for Cardiovascular Surgery since 2012. Engaged in
ultrasound diagnostics of the cardiovascular system of adults. He is testing a
patent on a new method for assessing the contractility of the left ventricular
myocardium, which is the basis of the dissertation work and is in the process
of writing. Two articles have been published on the topic and two are in the
process of publication, many works have been published on other topics.
