Machine Learning Framework to Identify Individuals at Risk of Rapid Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis: From the PARADIGM Registry [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Rapid coronary plaque progression (RPP) is associated with incident cardiovascular events. To date, no method exists for the identification of individuals at risk of RPP at a single point in time.

Can Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Replace Invasive Angiography? [PDF]

Circulation, 2015
One million patients undergo invasive coronary angiography (CA) in the United States every year.1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for

Coronary artery fistulas morphology in coronary computed tomography angiography

Folia Morphologica, 2020
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to evaluate coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) in coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) and verify whether there is correlation between the fistula’s morphology and other cardiac functional findings and

Coronary computed tomography angiography in children [PDF]

Pediatric Radiology, 2021
Imaging the coronary arteries of children, with their faster heart rates, small vessel size and common inability to lie still or breath-hold, has been a major challenge. With numerous advances in technology, CT examinations can now be performed quickly, often with children free-breathing and with much lower radiation doses than previously. This has led

Coronary computed tomography angiography [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2015
Contrast medium is injected intravenously, and multidetector technology is used to take an image of the heart during a single breath hold (acquisition time ~8 s for 64 detectors). Blockade is recommended for patients with heart rates faster than 65 beats/min to improve image quality and to ...
