Title: A new method for quantifying the contractility of the left ventricular myocardium according to two-dimensional Echocardiography

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.
