Predictors of inaccurate coronary arterial stenosis assessment by CT angiography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics associated with diagnostic inaccuracy of computed tomography angiography (CTA) for detecting obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) defined by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). BACKGROUND Although diagnostic performance metrics of CTA have been reported, there are sparse data on predictors of diagno...
متن کامل[Coronary angiography: beyond coronary anatomy].
Although technical advances enable normal epicardial coronary artery blood flow to be restored in most patients suffering myocardial infarction, restoration of blood flow is not always followed by improved myocardial perfusion. Recently, therefore, interest in the assessment of myocardial perfusion has grown, and a number of different assessment methods are available. The aim of this article wa...

Advances in multidetector CT (MDCT) technology with submillimeter slice collimation and high temporal resolution permit contrast-enhanced imaging of coronary arteries and coronary plaque during a single breath hold. Appropriate patient preparation, detailed technical and technological knowledge with regard to recognition of typical imaging artifacts (such as beam hardening or motion artifacts),...
متن کاملCT coronary angiography vs. invasive coronary angiography in CHD
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND Various diagnostic tests including conventional invasive coronary angiography and non-invasive computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography are used in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). RESEARCH QUESTIONS The present report aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy, diagnostic accuracy, prognostic value cost-effectiveness as well as the ethical, social and leg...
متن کاملAcute myocardial infarction without significant coronary stenosis: evaluation by LE-CMR and CT coronary angiography
Introduction It is known that 9-31% of women and 4-14% of men with AMI have normal coronary arteries or non significant coronary disease at angiography. These patients represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can detect and quantify myocardial scar. Multislice computed tomography can non invasively identi...
