Main content highlights
1. Anatomy and physiology of the coronary arteries
The first part of the textbook introduces readers to the detailed structure and function of the coronary arteries. The main anatomical variations and their clinical significance are described.

2. Overview of diagnostic methods
Includes an in-depth description of the main research methods used in clinical practice:

Non-invasive methods:
Computer tomography of the coronary arteries (CT coronary angiography).
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
Stress-echocardiography and nuclear magnetic resonance methods for functional assessment.
Invasive methods:
Classical coronary angiography.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
Optical coherence tomography (OCT).
3. Interpretation of results
Special attention is paid to the interpretation of diagnostic images and results. Real clinical examples are included with illustrations that demonstrate pathologies such as stenosis, occlusion, and atherosclerotic plaques.

4. Modern technologies and innovations
