Summary:The paper analyzes the data available in the literature on the possibility of using multislice spiral computed tomography in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The authors give the results of their study of the diagnostic value of 64-slice computed tomography in patients with presumptive coronary heart disease (CHD) and its high risk according to the Framingham risk scale (Group 1) versus those with its already established diagnosis (Group 2). The sensitivity of 64-slice computed tomography was 97.8 and 90.2 in Groups 1 and 2, respectively; its specificity was 98.6 and 78.2% in these groups.
