Computed Tomography to Detect Coronary Artery Calcification
Background/Overview CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) based anatomic studies. The development of fast CT scanners has allowed the measurement of CAC in clinical practice. CAC has been evaluated in several clinical settings. The most widely studied indication is for the use of CAC in the prediction of future risk of CAD in pati...
متن کاملAssessment of Non-Calcified Coronary Plaques Using 64-Slice Computed Tomography: Comparison With Intravascular Ultrasound
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Non-invasive detection and characterization of plaque composition may constitute an important step in risk stratification and monitoring of the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) allows for accurate, non-invasive detection and characterization of atherosclerotic plaques, as well as determination of coronary artery stenosis. T...

متن کاملLumen and calcium characteristics within calcified coronary lesions. Comparison of computed tomography coronary angiography versus intravascular ultrasound
INTRODUCTION Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is a diagnostic method used for exclusion of coronary artery disease. However, lower accuracy of CTCA in assessment of calcified lesions is a significant factor impeding applicability of CTCA for assessment of coronary atherosclerosis. AIM To provide insight into lumen and calcium characteristics assessed with CTCA, we compared thes...
متن کاملMultislice spiral computed tomography for the evaluation of stent patency after left main coronary artery stenting: a comparison with conventional coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound.
BACKGROUND Surveillance conventional coronary angiography (CCA) is recommended 2 to 6 months after stent-supported left main coronary artery (LMCA) percutaneous coronary intervention due to the unpredictable occurrence of in-stent restenosis (ISR), with its attendant risks. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a promising technique for noninvasive coronary evaluation. We evaluated the diagn...
