Noninvasive Evaluation With Multislice Computed Tomography in Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods In 40 patients (age 57 11 years, 26 men) presenting with suspected ACS, MSCT coronary angiography in combination with coronary calcium scoring was performed before conventional coronary angiography. MSCT angiograms were evaluated for the presence or absence of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and the presence or absence of obstructive ( 50% luminal narrowing) CAD. In addition, plaque type was determined, and findings were related to the calcium score.

Noninvasive evaluation with multislice computed tomography in suspected acute coronary syndrome: plaque morphology on multislice computed tomography versus coronary calcium score.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate the atherosclerotic plaque burden and morphology as determined by 64-slice multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography in relation to the calcium score in patients presenting with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). BACKGROUND The absence of coronary calcium during coronary calcium scoring has been proposed to rule out significant coronar...
متن کاملNoninvasive evaluation of the coronary arteries with multislice computed tomography in hypertensive patients.
Because patients with hypertension are at increased risk for coronary artery disease, early and noninvasive identification of the disease in patients with hypertension is important. Recently, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has been demonstrated to allow both noninvasive coronary angiography and assessment of left ventricular function. The purpose of the present study therefore was to dem...

The investigation and treatment of coronary disease impose a significant burden on health service resources. Catheter coronary angiography remains the gold standard for the investigation of suspected coronary disease. Given the invasive nature and high costs of invasive coronary angiography, there is an increased interest in noninvasive methods to image the lumen of the coronary arteries. Recen...

BACKGROUND Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is the foremost alternative to invasive coronary angiography. METHODS We sought to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MSCT in female and male patients with suspected coronary disease. Altogether 50 women and 95 men underwent MSCT with 0.5 mm detector collimation. Coronary artery stenoses of at least 50% on conventional coro...
