Prognostic value of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) allows increasingly reliable visualization of the coronary arteries. Over the past two years, several relevant scientific studies on the clinical utility and prognostic value of CT angiography have been published, and this review will provide a summary of the currently available data.
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 کاملPrognostic Value of Multidetector Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in Diabetes
OBJECTIVE To assess the prognostic role of multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) in patients with diabetes with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Use of MDCT-CA is increasing in patients with suspected CAD. However, data supporting its prognostic value in patients with diabetes are limited. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Between January 2006 and September 2007, ...

results of this study suggested superiority of CABG over PCI in elderly patients, this is counterintuitive and these results may not be generalizable to the majority of patients requiring coronary revascularization. Those patients with a higher risk profile were likely to be excluded from randomization because of procedural risks associated with CABG (3). The advantage of PCI in the elderly pat...
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...
