Spontaneous coronary artery dissection diagnosed by multislice computed tomography
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection can cause stable angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock and sudden cardiac death. It usually occurs in young to middle aged women. Atherosclerosis, peripartum period, and structural and inflammatory diseases affecting the ar...

متن کاملNatural history of coronary atherosclerosis by multislice computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to analyze the natural history of coronary atherosclerosis by multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and assess the serial changes in coronary plaque burden, lumen dimensions, and arterial remodeling. BACKGROUND MSCT can comprehensively assess coronary atherosclerosis by combining lumen and plaque size parameters. METHODS Thirty-two patients with acute coronary s...
متن کاملDiagnosis of aortic valvular stenosis by multislice cardiac computed tomography.
AIMS Current improvements in spatial, temporal, and contrast resolution of multislice computed tomography (CT) could be useful in the assessment of valvular diseases. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of multislice CT for the identification and quantification of aortic valvular stenosis (AS), compared with echography. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients, referred for coronary CT, were...
