Cardiac 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 کاملRadiation 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 کاملWhat is the optimal cut-off point for low coronary artery calcium score assessed by computed tomography? Multi-Detector Computed Tomography ANIN Registry
AIM This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the incidence and predictors of coronary artery disease (CAD) in relation to the low coronary artery calcium (CAC) score among patients with intermediate probability of CAD. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1132 consecutive patients were included in the analysis (58.7 ±10.9 years, 46.7% males). Coronary computed tomography (CCT) angiography ...
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 کاملAortic Unfolding Determined Using Non-Contrast Cardiac Computed Tomography: Correlations with Age and Coronary Artery Calcium Score
OBJECTIVE Aortic unfolding occurs with aging and reflects proximal aortic dilation, aortic arch widening, and decreased curvature. This study 1) evaluated the relationship between aortic unfolding measured using non-contrast cardiac-gated computed tomography (CT) and age, 2) assessed factors influencing aortic unfolding, and 3) determined the association of this measurement with coronary artery...
