متن کاملIs computed tomographic angiography prognostic in patients with cardiac symptoms?
e welcome the interest of Drs. Rapezzi and colleagues in our rticle (1). We did not discuss radionuclide imaging of amyloid ith tracers developed for bone scintigraphy because few data are vailable and because of constraints of space. Bone scintigraphy in myloidosis has been evaluated systematically only in very small eries (2), and there is no evidence as yet for a specific molecular nteractio...
متن کاملRadiation-reduction strategies in cardiac computed tomographic angiography.
Ionizing radiation has long been known to increase the risk of cancer. X-rays and γ-rays are officially classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer.(1) Of the 5 billion imaging investigations performed worldwide two-thirds employ ionizing radiation.(2) Diagnostic x-rays are the largest man-made source of radiation exposure to the gen...
متن کاملAssessment of perioperative cardiac risk of patients undergoing noncardiac surgery using coronary computed tomographic angiography.
BACKGROUND The appropriate indication for coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) as a part of preoperative evaluation has not been defined yet. We investigated the value of coronary CTA in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 844 patients (median age, 67 years; male sex, 62%) who underwent coronary CTA for screening of coronary artery disease before...
متن کاملCoronary computed tomography angiography in dialysis patients undergoing pre-renal transplantation cardiac risk stratification.
BACKGROUND This study addresses the safety, feasibility, and interpretability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in excluding significant coronary artery disease in end-stage renal disease patients on dialysis undergoing pre-renal transplant cardiac risk evaluation. METHODS Twenty nine patients (55.5 +/- 10.2 years) undergoing cardiac risk assessment prior to renal transplanta...
