Coronary Vasospastic Angina: Assessment by Multidetector CT Coronary Angiography
OBJECTIVE We aimed to describe the imaging findings of multidetector CT coronary angiography (MDCTA) in cases of vasospastic angina (VA) and to determine the accuracy of MDCTA in the identification of VA as compared with invasive coronary angiography with an ergonovine provocation test (CAG with an EG test). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-three patients with clinically suspected VA were enrolled...
متن کاملAssociation between carotid artery plaque ulceration and plaque composition evaluated with multidetector CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Symptomatic carotid artery plaque ulceration is associated with distinct plaque components such as a large lipid-rich necrotic core (LR-NC) in ischemic stroke patients with a ≥50% carotid stenosis. We evaluated the associations between carotid artery plaque ulceration and plaque characteristics in ischemic stroke patients with ≥50% stenosis, as well as in those with a low...

In the 20th century, this knowledge led to revolutionary treatment and prevention methods for acute myocardial infarcti...
متن کاملHigh-Risk Plaque Features on Coronary CT Angiography.
CORONARY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC ANGIOGRAPHY (CTA) HAS BECOME AN ACCEPTED TOOL FOR THE evaluation of obstructive coronary artery disease, with high accuracy and proven prognostic implications. Although detailed information regarding plaque characteristics is available in coronary CTA datasets of sufficient quality, clinical decision making utilizing the information offered by computed tomography–b...
متن کاملCoronary CT Angiography in the Quantitative Assessment of Coronary Plaques
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has been recently evaluated for its ability to assess coronary plaque characteristics, including plaque composition. Identification of the relationship between plaque composition by CCTA and patient clinical presentations may provide insight into the pathophysiology of coronary artery plaque, thus assisting identification of vulnerable plaques whi...
