Novel 320‐slice multislice CT angiography as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography
The diagnostic accuracy of 64‐slice CTA, currently the most widely used CTA system, has been well established by several multicenter studies [4–6]. In a recent prospective multicenter, multivendor trial by Meijboom and coworkers, high diagnostic accuracy of 64‐slice CTA was observed in the evaluation of 360 symptomatic patients with acute and stable angina [5]. On a per‐patient basis, the sensi...
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 کاملAdditional value of associating aortic valve calcification to coronary calcium as a gatekeeper for coronary tomography angiography
BACKGROUND Aortic valve calcification shares risk factors with coronary artery disease. Coronary calcium has been used has a gatekeeper to performing coronary tomography angiography. The aim of this study was to evaluate aortic valve calcification as a predictor of obstructive coronary artery disease by computed tomography, and its possible usefulness, alongside with coronary calcium, to improv...
