Prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease among patients with a zero calcium score

Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background and objective: Coronary artery calcium is a specific indicator of and an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, calcium scoring may miss non calcified plaques, which were indicated to be of clinical importance.

Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Although coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) improves diagnostic certainty in the assessment of patients with stable chest pain, its effect on 5-year clinical outcomes is unknown.

Effect of Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with elevated triglycerides (200-499 mg/dL) on statin therapy: Rationale and design of the EVAPORATE study. [PDF]

, 2018
Despite reducing progression and promoting regression of coronary atherosclerosis, statin therapy does not fully address residual cardiovascular (CV) risk.

A Case of 3: Coronary Artery Calcification Masquerading as a Stent on Chest X-ray

Indian Journal of Clinical Cardiology, 2023
Coronary artery calcification in patients with coronary artery disease is associated with increased major adverse cardiovascular events. They are usually diagnosed on a computed tomography scan or on an invasive coronary angiography.

Preventative Imaging with Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Current Cardiology Reports, 2023
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is the diagnostic modality of choice for patients with stable chest pain. In this review, we scrutinize the evidence on the use of CCTA for the screening of asymptomatic patients.Clinical evidence suggests that CCTA imaging enhances cardiovascular risk stratification and prompts the timely initiation of ...

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Versus Computed Tomography Angiography–Derived Fractional Flow Reserve Testing in Stable Patients With Intermediate‐Range Coronary Lesions: Influence on Downstream Diagnostic Workflows and Invasive Angiography Findings

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundData on the clinical utility of coronary computed tomography angiography–derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) are sparse. In patients with intermediate (40–70%) coronary stenosis determined by coronary computed tomography angiography, we ...

Rationale and design of the Clinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary heart disease 2 trial (CE-MARC 2): a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial of diagnostic strategies in suspected coronary heart disease [PDF]

, 2015
Background: A number of investigative strategies exist for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Despite the widespread availability of noninvasive imaging, invasive angiography is commonly used early in the diagnostic pathway.

Appropriate indications for computed tomography coronary angiography [PDF]

Medical Journal of Australia, 2012
Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) has been shown in multicentre trials to be reliable in ruling out significant coronary artery disease (CAD). It is used most appropriately in symptomatic patients with low to intermediate pretest probability of CAD.

A novel ultrafast-low-dose computed tomography protocol allows concomitant coronary artery evaluation and lung cancer screening [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND:Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is often performed in patients who are at high risk for lung cancer in whom screening is currently recommended.

Coronary angiography by computed tomography: coronary imaging evolves.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2007
Rapid technological advances have facilitated high-resolution noninvasive coronary angiography using multislice computed tomography. Appropriateness guidelines recently have been published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and endorsed by several imaging specialty societies.
