Coronary Artery Calcification Score and Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography: A Review and Update
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States and the world. Identifying new risk factors and improving the screening methods for CAD are continuously evolving processes. The coronary artery calcification (CAC) score, as measured by computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) is of intense interest to clinicians and investigators because of its potential ...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography in Diabetic Patients Without Known Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE Diabetic patients have a high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), but timely diagnosis of CAD remains challenging. We assessed the ability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect CAD in diabetic patients and to predict subsequent cardiac events. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed 140 diabetic patients without known CAD undergoing CCTA; 1,782 patien...
متن کاملPrognostic value of computed tomographic coronary angiography and exercise electrocardiography for cardiovascular events
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study is a head-to-head comparison of predictive values for long-term cardiovascular outcomes between exercise electrocardiography (ex-ECG) and computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) in patients with chest pain. METHODS Four hundred and forty-two patients (mean age, 56.1 years; men, 61.3%) who underwent both ex-ECG and CTCA for evaluation of chest pain were inclu...
متن کاملPrognostic value of multidetector coronary computed tomographic angiography for prediction of all-cause mortality.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the association of all-cause death with the coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA)-defined extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND The prognostic value of identifying CAD by CCTA remains undefined. METHODS We examined a single-center consecutive cohort of 1,127 patients > or =45 years old with chest sympt...
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...
