Assessment of coronary plaque morphology by contrast-enhanced computed tomographic angiography: comparison with intravascular ultrasound.
BACKGROUND Computed tomographic (CT) angiography provides accurate noninvasive assessment for coronary artery stenosis. The ability of CT angiography to determine plaque morphology remains unclear. METHODS Twelve patients undergoing intravascular ultrasound for clinical indications underwent CT angiography for the evaluation of plaque morphology. Plaque morphology was classified as (1) soft, ...
متن کاملSeverity of obstructive sleep apnoea predicts coronary artery plaque burden: a coronary computed tomographic angiography study.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Carotid ultrasonography and retrospective, uncontrolled, coronary imaging studies have suggested an association of OSA with subclinical atherosclerosis, but there is a lack of prospective, controlled studies directly evaluating the relationship of OSA with occult coronary artery disease. We...
متن کاملNoninvasive evaluation of coronary collateral arterial flow by coronary computed tomographic angiography.
BACKGROUND Coronary collateral flow is an alternative source of myocardial perfusion in patients with totally occluded coronary arteries. Clinical evaluation of collateral flow has been limited by the need of invasive measurements. We investigated whether noninvasive coronary computed tomographic angiography can evaluate the angiographic extent of coronary collateral flow. METHODS AND RESULTS...
متن کاملAssessment of coronary plaque progression in coronary computed tomography angiography using a semiquantitative score.
OBJECTIVES We sought to describe the progression of coronary atherosclerotic plaque over time by computed tomography (CT) angiography stratified by plaque composition and its association with cardiovascular risk profiles. BACKGROUND Data on the progression of atherosclerosis stratified by plaque composition with the use of noninvasive assessment by CT are limited and hampered by high measurem...
متن کاملPrognosis of vulnerable plaque on computed tomographic coronary angiography with normal myocardial perfusion image.
AIMS Increasing clinical evidence has emphasized the importance of coronary plaque characteristics, rather than the severity of luminal narrowing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) outcome. Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) is a unique, non-invasive approach for assessing plaque characteristics. This study was prospectively designed to investigate the prognostic value of physiologi...
