64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography in patients with high, intermediate, or low pretest probability of significant coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES We assessed the usefulness of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) to detect or rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with various estimated pretest probabilities of CAD. BACKGROUND The pretest probability of the presence of CAD may impact the diagnostic performance of CTCA. METHODS Sixty-four-slice CTCA (Sensation 64, Siemens, Forchheim, Germany)...
متن کاملGated myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with left bundle block but having low probability of coronary artery disease; as compared to the patients with normal electrocardiogram
Introduction: We aimed to investigate of effect of left bundle branch block (LBBB) on perfusion and functional parameters in dipyridamole Tc99m-MIBI gated myocardial perfusion SPECT which may be helpful in interpretation of myocardial perfusion imaging. Methods: We studied 70 patients with low pre-test probability of coronary artery disease in two groups: 35 patients with LBBB and 35 subject...
متن کاملThe safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of stress echocardiography in patients with high pretest probability of coronary artery disease
OBJECTIVE In this study, we assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of stress echocardiography (SE), as well as the place of SE in patients with high pretest probability (PTP) of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS We investigated 257 patients with no history of CAD, who underwent SE, and they had a PTP risk score >61% (high PTP). According to the National Institute for Health and Care ...
متن کاملPretest probability assessment derived from attribute matching
BACKGROUND Pretest probability (PTP) assessment plays a central role in diagnosis. This report compares a novel attribute-matching method to generate a PTP for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We compare the new method with a validated logistic regression equation (LRE). METHODS Eight clinical variables (attributes) were chosen by classification and regression tree analysis of a prospectively c...
متن کاملReassurance after diagnostic testing with a low pretest probability of serious disease: systematic review and meta-analysis.
IMPORTANCE Diagnostic tests are often ordered by physicians in patients with a low pretest probability of disease to rule out conditions and reassure the patient. OBJECTIVE To study the effect of diagnostic tests on worry about illness, anxiety, symptom persistence, and subsequent use of health care resources in patients with a low pretest probability of serious illness. EVIDENCE ACQUISITIO...
