The Effectiveness of Calcium Scoring Alongside Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Patients with Low-Likelihood of Chest Pain
Acute chest pain is a challenging clinical problem, commonly encountered in emergency departments. Appropriate management and treatment of acute chest pain requires a careful assessment of patients to predict the probability of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and initiate immediate treatment. Generally low-risk patients with negative serial electrocardiograms and cardiac injury markers have to un...
متن کاملClinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of coronary computed tomography angiography in the evaluation of patients with chest pain.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to project clinical outcomes, health care costs, and cost-effectiveness of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), as compared with conventional diagnostic technologies, in the evaluation of patients with stable chest pain and suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND CCTA has recently been found to be effective in the evaluation of pati...
متن کاملCoronary computed tomography angiography for the evaluation of patients with acute chest pain.
Acute chest pain is a common presenting complaint of patients attending emergency room departments. Despite this, it can often be challenging to completely exclude a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome following an initial standard clinical and biochemical evaluation. As a result of this, patients are often admitted to hospital until the treating clinician is satisfied that this diagnosis can ...
متن کاملAutomated aortic calcium scoring on low-dose chest computed tomography.
PURPOSE Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans provide information about cardiovascular risk status. These scans are non-ECG synchronized, thus precise quantification of coronary calcifications is difficult. Aortic calcium scoring is less sensitive to cardiac motion, so it is an alternative to coronary calcium scoring as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. The authors developed and evaluated ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography in diabetic patients without chest pain syndrome
AIMS Diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are often free of chest pain syndrome. A useful modality for non-invasive assessment of CAD is coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). However, the prognostic value of CAD on coronary CTA in diabetic patients without chest pain syndrome is relatively unknown. Therefore, the aim was to investigate the long-term prognostic value of...
متن کاملutilization of coronary computed tomography angiography for rapid risk stratification in emergency chest pain units
background: coronary computed tomography angiography (ccta) is a well-known method for evaluating anatomic coronary stenosis, but the reliability of ccta to predict cardiovascular events is an issue of controversy. materials and methods: in this prospective observational study, 58 patients with acute chest pain and low-to-moderate risk were selected and ccta was performed on them. during follow...
