Radiation exposure for coronary artery calcium score at prospective 320 row multi - detector computed tomography
Purpose: To date there is extensive data on the radiation dose for assessing coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) with 4-64 row multidetector MDCT. However with the advent of 320 row MDCT, the entire heart can be imaged in one beat and thus potentially reduce the radiation dose. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation dose for CACS on low-dose prospective EKG-triggered 320 row MDCT. Ma...

متن کاملCardiac calcium score on 2D echo: correlations with cardiac and coronary calcium at multi-detector computed tomography
BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis that a semi-quantitative echocardiographic calcium score (eCS) significantly correlates with cardiac calcium measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and, secondarily, severe coronary artery calcifications and stenosis. METHODS This is a retrospective, observational study, conducted in a tertiary centre. eCS was compared with CCTA scores of...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography and Coronary Artery Calcium Score Performed Before Revascularization
BACKGROUND Cardiac events after revascularization are equally attributable to recurrence at site of culprit lesions and development of nonculprit lesions. We evaluated the hypothesis that coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) performed before revascularization predicts cardiac events after treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 2238 consecutive p...
متن کاملTherapeutic Implications of Coronary Artery Calcium Using Cardiac Computed Tomography
The objective of this document is to review the clinical applicability of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. We begin by describing the pathological basis of atherosclerosis, the characteristic stages of atherosclerotic plaque development, and the mechanism and role of arterial calcifi cation in advanced athero...
