Coronary Vasospastic Angina: Assessment by Multidetector CT Coronary Angiography
OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the imaging findings of multidetector CT coronary angiography (MDCTA) in cases of vasospastic angina (VA) and to determine the accuracy of MDCTA in the identification of VA as compared with invasive coronary angiography with an ergonovine provocation test (CAG with an EG test). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-three patients with clinically suspected VA were enrolled...
متن کاملMultidetector-Row Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
onsiderable progress has recently been achieved in the field of noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries by computed tomography (CT). Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanners are equipped with thinner detectors and have a shorter rotation time, which enables considerably faster volume coverage with a thinner slice width during a single breath hold. The entire heart volume can be covered with ne...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Multidetector Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in Diabetes
OBJECTIVE To assess the prognostic role of multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) in patients with diabetes with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Use of MDCT-CA is increasing in patients with suspected CAD. However, data supporting its prognostic value in patients with diabetes are limited. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Between January 2006 and September 2007, ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of multidetector coronary computed tomography angiography.
results of this study suggested superiority of CABG over PCI in elderly patients, this is counterintuitive and these results may not be generalizable to the majority of patients requiring coronary revascularization. Those patients with a higher risk profile were likely to be excluded from randomization because of procedural risks associated with CABG (3). The advantage of PCI in the elderly pat...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of coronary artery stenoses by multidetector-row spiral computed tomography: comparison with conventional angiography.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of hospitalization and mortality in many industrialized countries. We analysed the diagnostic accuracy of multi-detector row spiral computed tomography (MDCT) in determining mid- to high-grade coronary artery stenoses (> 50%). METHODS Sixty-nine patients with suspected CAD were referred to MDCT coronary angiography. Patients wi...
