Abstract

The non-invasive x-ray functional diagnostic electroradiographic method at the large vessels near the heart may enrich the radiological preliminary diagnostics of recirculation abnormalities. In chronic unspecific pulmonary diseases it can characterize the load of the right heart. Our studies should serve as a pilot study for the in future possible, simply to be handled non-invasive video-densitometry of the vessels near the heart in the preliminary diagnostics of cardiovascular diseases.
