ABSTRACT

La teoría fractal permite la caracterización objetiva de objetos irregulares. La ramificación coronaria izquierda es un objeto irregular que en la actualidad se evalúa por medio de la arteriografía, donde se determina la enfermedad arterial oclusiva a partir de la comparación de medidas entre segmentos arteriales, sin evaluar el impacto de la lesión en la ramificación coronaria total. La irregularidad de la totalidad de la ramificación coronaria puede evaluarse con dimensiones fractales.De manera fractal se caracterizaron imágenes consecutivas entre sístole y diástole de nueve pacientes con enfermedad arterial oclusiva moderada y se confrontaron con las medidas de siete pacientes con enfermedad arterial oclusiva severa y siete sin enfermedad arterial oclusiva mediante comparaciones de la variabilidad y la diferencia neta. Los pacientes con lesión moderada y sin enfermedad arterial oclusiva, presentan un comportamiento matemático que se caracteriza por mayor variabilidad, mientras que los pacientes con enfermedad arterial oclusiva severa presentan diferencias netas generalmente iguales a 0.


The fractal theory allows the objective characterization of irregular objects. The left coronary artery ramification is an irregular object actually evaluated by means of arteriography, in which the occlusive arterial disease is evaluated through the comparison of measures between arterial segments, without evaluating the impact of the lesion in the whole coronary ramification. The irregularity of the whole coronary ramification can be evaluated through fractal dimensions. Consecutive images between systole and diastole of nine patients with moderate occlusive arterial disease were characterized in a fractal way and were confronted with the measures of seven patients with severe occlusive arterial disease and with seven without occlusive arterial disease by comparing the variability and the net difference. Patients with moderate lesion and without occlusive arterial disease have a mathematical behavior characterized by a greater variability, while patients with severe occlusive disease have net differences generally equal to 0.
