Multimodality Imaging for Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection in Women.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has gained attention as a key cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death among women. Recent advancements in cardiac imaging have improved identification and accelerated awareness of SCAD. Accurate diagnosis of SCAD through use of imaging is critical, as emerging evidence suggests that the optimal short- and long-term management strat...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease: Focus on Computed Tomography
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and various cardiovascular imaging modalities have been introduced for the purpose of diagnosing and determining the severity of CAD. More recently, advances in computed tomography (CT) technology have contributed to the widespread clinical application of cardiac CT for accurate and noninvasive evaluation of CAD. In this...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging of Left Circumflex Artery to Coronary Sinus Fistula
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare anomaly of the coronary artery. Patients with this condition are usually asymptomatic. However, cardiac failure may occur later in life due to progressive enlargement of the fistula. Diagnosis is traditionally made by echocardiogram and conventional angiogram. However with the advantage of new technologies such as computed tomography (CT) coronary angiogr...
متن کاملGiant Right Coronary Artery with Coronary Artery Fistula Complicated by Infective Endocarditis: Multimodality Imaging Approach
A 65-year-old woman presented to the emergency department feeling feverish and having dyspnea. A chest X-ray revealed multifocal nodular consolidation, indicating possible embolic infarction. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed vegetation attached to the aortic valve (Fig. 1A, arrow), resulting in moderate aortic regurgitation (see Supplementary Video 1, 2 in the onlineonly Data Supplement)...
متن کامل[Coronary artery anomalies].
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are a rare entity but their true incidence in the general population has yet to be determined. Most CAAs are asymptomatic, but they are nevertheless the second leading cause of sudden death in apparently healthy young athletes. The new imaging methods available to cardiologists, including CT angiography and MRI, now enable noninvasive diagnosis and characterizat...
