Coronary artery disease detected by coronary computed tomography angiography is associated with red cell distribution width.
OBJECTIVE Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the relationship between CAD detected by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and RDW. METHODS Records of 291 patients who underwent 16-slice CCTA due to the presence of angina-like chest pain were ret...
متن کاملSubclinical Coronary Artery Disease as Detected by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in an Asymptomatic Population
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Primary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a public health issue, according to increasing awareness of the substantial risks posed by asymptomatic atherosclerosis. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and characteristics of subclinical CAD using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and to evaluate the role of this adva...
متن کاملMalignant anomalous right coronary artery detected by multidetector row computed tomography coronary angiography
We report a case of an anomalous origin of a right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus with an inter-arterial course, between the aorta and the main pulmonary artery. This variant has been called malignant because of its association with sudden death, especially in young asymptomatic athletes. Although these variants are rare, knowledge of cross sectional anatomy of the coronary arteri...
متن کاملDouble right coronary artery detected on coronary computed tomography angiography: A case report
Double right coronary artery is a relatively rare coronary anomaly. In this case report we aim to increase awareness of the importance of recognizing such anomaly and a brief literature review of similar cases and possible high risk features. Computed Tomography is well recognized modality to detect coronary anomaly and in our case we demonstrated this as well.
متن کاملCongenital coronary anomalies detected by coronary computed tomography compared to invasive coronary angiography
BACKGROUND As coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative for evaluation of coronary anatomy with a lower referral threshold than invasive coronary angiography (ICA), the prevalence of coronary anomalies in CCTA may more closely reflect the true prevalence in the general population. Morphological features of coronary anomalies can be evaluated more ...
