BACKGROUND It is unclear whether an evaluation incorporating coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is more effective than standard evaluation in the emergency department in patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes. METHODS In this multicenter trial, we randomly assigned patients 40 to 74 years of age with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes but with...
OBJECTIVE Chest pain is one of the most common complaints in the emergency department (ED). Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a frequently used tool for the early triage of patients with low- to intermediate-risk acute chest pain. We present a study protocol for a multicenter prospective randomized controlled clinical trial testing the hypothesis that a low-dose CCTA protocol us...
Aims Although cardiac hybrid imaging, fusing single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), provides important complementary diagnostic information for coronary artery disease (CAD) assessment, no prognostic data exist on the predictive value of cardiac hybrid imaging. Hence, the aim of this study was to asse...
AIMS The prognostic value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is well established and has been suggested for use to exclude significant coronary artery disease (CAD) for symptomatic individuals with CAD. Contrast-enhanced coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is an alternative modality that enables direct visualization of coronary stenosis severity, extent, and distribution. Whe...
BACKGROUND ECG-gated cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has found widespread use for prosthesis sizing before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, still little data exists on the optimal scan-strategy in such patients. We hypothesized that prospectively triggered CCTA can enable the visualization of aortic valve structures and peripheral arteries with lower radia...
CONTEXT Cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a useful diagnostic imaging modality in the assessment of coronary artery disease. However, the potential risks due to exposure to ionizing radiation associated with CCTA have raised concerns. OBJECTIVES To estimate the radiation dose of CCTA in routine clinical practice as well as the association of currently availabl...
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) allows for non-invasive identification and grading of stenoses by evaluating the degree of narrowing of the blood-filled vessel lumen. Recently, methods have been proposed that simulate coronary blood flow using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to compute the fractional flow reserve non-invasively. Both grading and CFD rely on a precise segmenta...
conclusions compared to iohexol and iopamidol, iodixanol use was associated with a lower patient perception of heat and lower hr while maintaining similar contrast-to-noise and signal-to-noise ratios. results baseline hr was similar across the patients assigned to iohexol, iopamidol, and iodixanol (65.3 ± 9.7, 66.9 ± 10.9, and 65.3 ± 13.3, respectively; p = ns). compared to iohexol and iopamido...
This article contains the data showing illustrative examples of plaque classification on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and measurement of 18F-sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) uptake in coronary atherosclerotic lesions on positron emission tomography (PET). We divided the lesions into one of three plaque types on CCTA (calcified plaque, non-calcified plaque, partially calcified plaque...
Recent technical advances in computed tomography (CT) have improved image quality, diagnostic performance and accuracy of coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Latest dose-reduction strategies reduce radiation dose to an acceptable level even lower than that from conventional coronary angiography. CCTA is a noninvasive imaging modality which can effectively show complex coronary artery anatomy, varia...
