Description
Magneto-Cardio-Graphy (MCG) as a contact-
freemeasurementmethod is anexcellent tool
toperform studies for early recognition, precise
diagnostics andmonitoringof heart diseases.
Theelectrophysiological behavior of the
heartmaybe altered indisease anddrug inter-
vention, presumablyby changes in individual ion
currents or disease-induced increased ion chan-
nel density. Duringmyocardial activation and
recovery there is a flowof ions, which creates
changes of electrical andmagnetic field around
theheart. Theheartsmagnetic field is exquisitely
sensitive to anisotropy ratios in the cardiac tissue.
Therefore,magnetic imagingof cardiac action
currents is an ideally suited technique for testing
theheterogeneity, thus elucidating theeffects
of anisotropy in spreadof action currents.

MCG is non-invasive and informative
methods which could be effectively used a
variety spectrum of clinical setting.
It is a useful tool for screening diag-
nostics andmay be used in unshielded
environment.
Areas of Application
MCG can be used for noninvasive
diagnosis of cardiac events related to:
- coronary arterydisease (CAD),
- safetyof allmedical drugswith
respect to thedrugs potential to
cause heart arrhythmia,
- early detectionof graft rejection
after cardiac transplantation,
- pathophysiological role and
therapeuticpotential of stem cells.

NEWMATERIALSANDNANOTECHNOLOGY
Description
At present one of themost important
directions in solving the problem of of
superhardmaterials development with quali-
tatively and quantitatively new complex of
physico-mechanical properties is the use
of nanodispersedmaterials as the initial
ones. Under adequate conditions a unique
complex of mechanical properties, e.g., a
combination of very high hardness and frac-
ture toughness, can be realized in a nanodis-
persed polycrystal.
