متن کاملAortic stenosis: even mild disease is significant.
The spectrum of calcific aortic valve disease ranges from aortic sclerosis, without obstruction to ventricular outflow, to severe aortic stenosis. The natural history of symptomatic and asymptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis has been evaluated by Doppler echocardiography in several retrospective and prospective studies. In addition, there is substantial data on the rate of haemodynamic progr...
متن کاملNoninvasive CT-Derived FFR Based on Structural and Fluid Analysis: A Comparison With Invasive FFR for Detection of Functionally Significant Stenosis.
OBJECTIVES This study describes the feasibility and accuracy of a novel computed tomography (CT) fractional flow reserve (FFR) technique based on alternative boundary conditions. BACKGROUND Techniques used to compute FFR based on images acquired from coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) are described. Boundary conditions were typically determined by allometric scaling laws and assum...
