Electron-Beam Computed Tomography in the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease After Heart Transplantation
Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease After Heart Transplantation To the Editor: In their study of electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) for the assessment of coronary artery disease in heart transplantation, Knollmann et al1 noted a significant discrepancy between the amount of calcification measured by EBCT and that measured by intracoronary ultrasound. In their discussion, they suggest a ...
متن کاملElectron-beam computed tomography in the assessment of coronary artery disease after heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND Our aim was to compare the electron-beam CT (EBCT) features of coronary arteries in heart transplant recipients with those of biplane coronary angiography and intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS). METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 112 heart transplant recipients (25 female; age, 17 to 69 years; median, 52 years) 1 to 153 months (median, 46 months) after surgery by EBCT to detect coronary ...

متن کاملPrediction of coronary events with electron beam computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the prognostic accuracy of electron beam computed tomographic (EBCT) scanning of the coronary arteries at three to four years. BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcium scores determined by EBCT correlate with the severity of coronary artery disease. However, previous reports of the prognostic accuracy of EBCT scanning for coronary events in asymptomatic individuals...
متن کاملValidity of electron beam computed tomography for coronary artery disease: asystematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a method for measuring coronary calcification and has been promoted as a possible non-invasive screening/diagnostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). Our objective was to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis of EBCT for the screening of asymptomatic patients and the diagnosis of symptomatic patients for CAD. METHODS Studi...
