Abstract

The article details the concept of clinical information technology (IT), i.e. a set of methods and software and hardware combined into a technological chain, the product of which is an automated diagnostic report, prognostic report or recommendation on patient management tactics. There are several examples of innovative information technologies and metrics implemented by the authors in Ukraine and abroad, designed to register and evaluate subtle changes in the electromagnetic field of the heart for early diagnosis of the most common and dangerous heart diseases, especially coronary heart disease. It is shown that new metrics of analysis of spatial structure of 2D and 3D magnetocardiographic maps of current density distribution allow to diagnose with high accuracy various forms of myocardial ischemia. The new method of the electrocardiogram scaling is used in various areas of clinical medicine, sports medicine, occupational medicine, as well as in large-scale population studies.
