Noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque burden at coronary CT angiography: a better predictor of ischemia at stress myocardial perfusion imaging than calcium score and stenosis severity.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between the coronary CT angiographic findings of calcified and noncalcified plaque burden and stenosis severity and the myocardial perfusion imaging finding of ischemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two patients (41 men, 31 women; mean age, 56 years) underwent coronary CT angiography and stress-rest SPECT myocardial perfusion im...
متن کاملAutomated three-dimensional quantification of noncalcified coronary plaque from coronary CT angiography: comparison with intravascular US.
PURPOSE To determine the accuracy of a previously developed automated algorithm (AUTOPLAQ [APQ]) for rapid volumetric quantification of noncalcified and calcified plaque from coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography in comparison with intravascular ultrasonography (US). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was approved by the institutional review board and was HIPAA compliant; all patients ...
متن کاملFrequency and extent of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with a coronary artery calcium score of zero: assessment with CT angiography.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the frequency and extent of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero and establish the demographic characteristics and the cardiovascular risk factors that affect the formation of atheromatous plaques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography was performed in 288 cases with a CAC sco...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging of Atherosclerotic Plaques Using MRI and CT
Noninvasive, high-resolution MRI has shown its efficacy in the visualization of carotid atherosclerotic plaque characteristics. MRI is the only noninvasive option for thin plaque cap, active inflammation, fissured/injured plaque and intraplaque hemorrhage, is also useful in monitoring the response after statin therapy, and has the potential to image a coronary plaque and to determine its compos...
متن کاملSystemic atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in patients with Coronary Artery Disease with a single Whole Body [FDG]PET-CT scan
Objective(s): Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbimortality with over half cardiovascular events occurring in the asymptomatic population by traditional risk stratification. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate systemic plaque vulnerability in patients with prior Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with a single Whole Body [FDG] PET-CT scan in terms of plaq...
متن کاملDetection of calcified and noncalcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque by contrast-enhanced, submillimeter multidetector spiral computed tomography: a segment-based comparison with intravascular ultrasound.
BACKGROUND We investigated the ability of multidetector spiral computed tomography (MDCT) to detect atherosclerotic plaque in nonstenotic coronary arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS In 22 patients without significant coronary stenoses, contrast-enhanced MDCT (0.75-mm collimation, 420-ms rotation) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) of one coronary artery were performed. A total of 83 coronary segm...
