Value of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in suspected coronary artery disease.
e read with great interest the recent study by Pundziute et al. (1) nd congratulate the investigators for demonstrating the utility of ultislice computed tomography (MSCT) findings in predicting oronary artery disease (CAD) events. In all patients, a coronary rtery noncontrast scan was performed to determine coronary rtery calcification (CAC) scores followed by contrast-enhanced omputed tomogra...
متن کاملMultislice computed tomography in the exclusion of coronary artery disease in patients with presurgical valve disease.
BACKGROUND Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has shown high negative predictive value in ruling out obstructive coronary artery disease. Preliminary studies in patients with valvular heart disease (VHD) have demonstrated the potential of MSCT angiography (CTA) in such patients, precluding need for invasive angiography (XA). However, larger prospectively designed studies, including patients ...

متن کاملNoninvasive coronary artery imaging by multislice spiral computed tomography.
Although the excellent spatial resolution of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) enables the coronary arteries to be visualized, its limited temporal resolution results in poor image reproducibility because of cardiac motion artifact (CMA) and hence limits its widespread clinical use. A novel retrospectively ECG-gated reconstruction method has been developed to minimize CMA. In 88 cons...
متن کاملSpontaneous coronary artery dissection diagnosed by multislice computed tomography
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection can cause stable angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock and sudden cardiac death. It usually occurs in young to middle aged women. Atherosclerosis, peripartum period, and structural and inflammatory diseases affecting the ar...
