Noninvasive imaging of left coronary arteriovenous fistula.
We investigated a patient with coronary arteriovenous fistula (CAVF) by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-DE), cardiac Doppler, cardiac catheterization and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These investigations clearly showed the abnormal vascular structures. NMR is another valuable noninvasive and safe method of confirming the presence of a CAVF.

vessel wall and to remove waste or noxious products. By contrast, uncontrolled formation of intraplaque or adventitial neovessels appears to contribute to the progression and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaque.12 Moreover, some of the neovessels are immature and prone to destruction, which may subsequently contribute to the development of intraplaque hemorrhage and plaque instability.13 ...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary artery imaging by multislice spiral computed tomography.
Although the excellent spatial resolution of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) enables the coronary arteries to be visualized, its limited temporal resolution results in poor image reproducibility because of cardiac motion artifact (CMA) and hence limits its widespread clinical use. A novel retrospectively ECG-gated reconstruction method has been developed to minimize CMA. In 88 cons...
متن کاملNoninvasive Imaging for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease
Noninvasive cardiac imaging is a cornerstone of the diagnostic work-up in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and congenital heart disease. It is essential for the assessment of CAD from functional and anatomical perspectives, and is considered the gate-keeper to invasive coronary angiography. Cardiac tests include exercise electrocardiography, ...
متن کاملIs there a gender difference in noninvasive coronary imaging? Multislice computed tomography for noninvasive detection of coronary stenoses
BACKGROUND Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is the foremost alternative to invasive coronary angiography. METHODS We sought to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MSCT in female and male patients with suspected coronary disease. Altogether 50 women and 95 men underwent MSCT with 0.5 mm detector collimation. Coronary artery stenoses of at least 50% on conventional coro...
