Noninvasive diagnosis of vulnerable coronary plaque
Myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death are frequently the first manifestation of coronary artery disease. For this reason, screening of asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis has become an attractive field of research in cardiovascular medicine. Necropsy studies have described histopathological changes associated with the development of acute coronary events. In this regard, thin-cap fib...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary vessel wall and plaque imaging with magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Conventional x-ray angiography frequently underestimates the true burden of atherosclerosis. Although intravascular ultrasound allows for imaging of coronary plaque, this invasive technique is inappropriate for screening or serial examinations. We therefore sought to develop a noninvasive free-breathing MR technique for coronary vessel wall imaging. We hypothesized that such an appro...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging of Atherosclerotic Plaque Progression: Status of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography.
The process of coronary artery disease progression is infrequently visualized. Intravascular ultrasound has been used to gain important insights but is invasive and therefore limited to high-risk patients. For low-to-moderate risk patients, noninvasive methods may be useful to quantitatively monitor plaque progression or regression and to understand and personalize atherosclerosis therapy. This...
متن کاملNoninvasive imaging of left coronary arteriovenous fistula.
We investigated a patient with coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE), cardiac Doppler, cardiac catheterization and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These investigations clearly showed the abnormal vascular structures. NMR is another valuable noninvasive and safe method of confirming the presence of a CAVF.
متن کاملComputed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for noninvasive coronary angiography and plaque imaging: current and potential future concepts.
Atherothrombosis is a systemic disease of the vessel wall that causes distinct clinical manifestations, depending on the affected circulatory bed and the characteristics of the individual lesions.1 These lesions may be quite heterogeneous.1 Thus, the clinical manifestations of atherothrombosis of the coronary arteries, of the arteries supplying the central nervous system, of the aorta, and of t...
