Exercise Echocardiography and Multidetector Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain
Introduction and objectives: Up to 4% of patients with acute chest pain, normal electrocardiogram, and negative troponins present major adverse cardiac events as a result of undiagnosed acute coronary syndrome. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic performance of multidetector computed tomography and exercise echocardiography in patients with a low-to-intermediate probability of coronary artery...
متن کاملMultislice computed tomography for the study of complications of gastric fundoplication
The traditional approach to the imaging evaluation of patients after gastric fundo-plication is an upper gastrointestinal series obtained by fluoroscopy. In this article, we describe a new technique using multislice computed tomography that we think can be useful to evaluate patients with suspected complications or late failure after gastric fundoplication. Tomografía computarizada multicorte p...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Computed Tomography Protocol for Evaluating Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Un protocolo integral de tomografı́a computarizada para evaluar la disfunción sistólica ventricular izquierda
The article by Estornell-Erill et al. published in Revista Española de Cardiologı́a investigates the ability of multidetector computed tomography (CT) to detect the causes of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in a single comprehensive assessment. In this study, the authors combine coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, anatomic luminal imaging of the coronary arteries by CT angiograph...
