Summary/Abstract: High incidency of cardiovascular diseases within our population, particularly coronary artery disease, needs early diagnostics and treatment. Their rising prevalence in younger age population is especially disturbing. The life span has been prolonged during recent period. Criteria for evaluation of human age have changed, e.g. the ageing is within 65-75 years, very old age in 76-90 years, and senility from 91 years. The prevalency of ischemic heart disease is very high even in the middle age. There are also some differences between both genders. Microvascular changes both in the vascular system and the myocard are very imprortant. we try to detect these changes and help prevention of sudden coronary events also by methods of nuclear medicine.
