Noncardiac findings in cardiac imaging with multidetector computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the frequency of the noncardiac findings in cardiac imaging with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). BACKGROUND Multidetector computed tomography is an accepted new tool to evaluate the heart. In cardiac MDCT scans, organs other than the heart are also irradiated, but usually not assessed. METHODS A total of 503 patients underwent cardiac imaging with 16- or...
متن کاملDetection of incidental cardiac findings in noncardiac chest computed tomography
The aim of the study was to estimate the rate of incidental cardiac findings (ICF) in patients undergoing noncardiac chest CT.An experienced radiologist retrospectively reviewed 237 consecutive patients (147 males and 90 females with median age of 69 years) undergoing a noncardiac chest CT. ICF at targeted review were compared to those mentioned in original reports (χ test).At review, ≥1 ICF wa...

former SNP alters the gene responsiveness to statins: statins would up-regulate eNOS expression (2) more potently in -786C homozygous (3) and therefore, these subjects would generate more NO while on statins than subjects with the other genotypes. Accordingly, atorvastatin increased NO availability and reduced inflammatory marker concentrations in CC, but not in TT healthy men (4). However, we ...
