Imaging coronary artery histology: a virtual pursuit?
For years, patients have been under the misconception that a coronary intervention of a coronary stenosis was “preventing an impending heart attack.” As cardiologists, we know better. In stable coronary artery disease, when we perform a coronary intervention, we do not know if the target site is going to evolve into a ruptured plaque and result in acute coronary syndrome. Prediction and prevent...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Imaging in Children
Coronary artery problems in children usually have a significant impact on both short-term and long-term outcomes. Early and accurate diagnosis, therefore, is crucial but technically challenging due to the small size of the coronary artery, high heart rates, and limited cooperation of children. Coronary artery visibility on CT and MRI in children is considerably improved with recent technical ad...
متن کاملThe prevalence of potentially unstable coronary lesions in patients with coronary artery disease--virtual histology study.
BACKGROUND Histopathological studies indicate that coronary artery lesions with a thin fibrous cap and large necrotic core (thin-cap fibroatheromas, TCFA) are characterised by a high risk of rupture and can potentially trigger acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Atherosclerotic lesions with a well preserved fibrous cap (fibroatheromas, FA) are considered to be more stable ones. Intravascular ultraso...
متن کاملUpdate on coronary artery calcium imaging.
This update of coronary calcium imaging discusses methods of detecting and measuring coronary artery calcium and their correlation to coronary artery disease risk. The value of EBCT to traditional non-invasive cardiovascular tests is compared. A negative EBCT test makes the presence of atherosclerotic plaque, including unstable plaque, very unlikely. Negative EBCT may be consistent with low ris...
