Prevalence of Congenital Coronary Artery Anomalies of Korean Men Detected by Coronary Computed Tomography
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It has been demonstrated that the anomalous origin of coronary arteries (AOCA) are generally asymptomatic and rare diseases. However, some cases can cause severe life threatening events. To detect these anomalies, coronary angiographies and autopsies were used to detect coronary artery anomalies, but these procedures have limitations because of their invasiveness. The ...
متن کاملCongenital coronary anomalies detected by coronary computed tomography compared to invasive coronary angiography
BACKGROUND As coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative for evaluation of coronary anatomy with a lower referral threshold than invasive coronary angiography (ICA), the prevalence of coronary anomalies in CCTA may more closely reflect the true prevalence in the general population. Morphological features of coronary anomalies can be evaluated more ...
متن کاملPrevalence of Coronary artery anomalies detected by Coronary CT Angiography in Canton Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are congenital variations of one or more of the coronary arteries and they are an uncommon but important cause of chest pain and, in some cases, sudden cardiac death. Anomalies of coronary arteries may be found incidentally in 0.3-1% of healthy individuals. The three types of coronary artery anomalies are anomalies of origin, anomalies of course and a...
متن کاملIncreased prevalence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis detected by coronary computed tomography angiography in HIV-infected men.
OBJECTIVE The degree of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in HIV-infected patients is unknown. We investigated the degree of subclinical atherosclerosis and the relationship of traditional and nontraditional risk factors to early atherosclerotic disease using coronary computed tomography angiography. DESIGN AND METHODS Seventy-eight HIV-infected men (age 46.5 +/- 6.5 years and duration of ...
متن کاملSubclinical Coronary Artery Disease as Detected by Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in an Asymptomatic Population
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Primary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a public health issue, according to increasing awareness of the substantial risks posed by asymptomatic atherosclerosis. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and characteristics of subclinical CAD using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and to evaluate the role of this adva...
