Non-Coronary Cardiac Findings and Pitfalls in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Non-coronary incidental findings are not rare. Kirsch et al found 67% non-coronary abnormalities with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Radiologists are expected to identify the extracoronary, intra- and para-cardiac anatomical structures and distinguish them from pathologic processes in CCTA. We have reviewed 2000 CCTA studies done at our institution with 64-MDCT. This pictorial...

former SNP alters the gene responsiveness to statins: statins would up-regulate eNOS expression (2) more potently in -786C homozygous (3) and therefore, these subjects would generate more NO while on statins than subjects with the other genotypes. Accordingly, atorvastatin increased NO availability and reduced inflammatory marker concentrations in CC, but not in TT healthy men (4). However, we ...
متن کاملComputed tomography coronary angiography.
Recent developments in computed tomography technology have made imaging of the coronary arteries possible. All the same, the rapid motion and small dimensions of the coronary vessels make coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) challenging. With the last generations of 16- and 64-slice computed tomography and adequate patient preparation (which includes lowering of the heart rat...
متن کاملCoronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) as a noninvasive approach underlies a rapid technological development with an impressive improvement of spatial and temporal resolution of the images. Therefore, it has become an accurate and costeffective method to detect or exclude obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with low to medium cardiovascular risk profile, as recommend...
متن کاملNew Noninvasive Modalities in Coronary Angiography: Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in most developed countries [1]. CAD is a common and sometimes disabling disorder, although medication therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting have developed recently. Medical doctors need to prevent from developing acute coronary syndrome. The development of non-invasive cardiac ...
