Design Randomised controlled trial. Setting 37 hospitals in the UK.
A coronary computed tomography CT angiography is a simple non invasive method of examining the coronary vessels that supply blood to your heart. This exam is quick and painless with very specific results. Plus coronary CT angiography requires very little preparation and no recovery time compared to traditional angiography.
CT coronary angiography has a high degree of accuracy in the assessment of coronary artery disease compared with invasive selective CA however its accuracy inThe feasibility and accuracy of 16‐slice computed tomography in the evaluation of coronary stent patency is not well investigated. Background This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the image quality of coronary computed tomography CT angiography CCTA in obese patients by using deep learning image reconstruction DLIR in comparison with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction Veo ASiR V . Methods We prospectively evaluated 60 obese patients body mass index BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2
Feb 11 2022 During the past few years CT angiography has established itself as the first line diagnostic test for patients presenting with suspected CAD Coronary computed tomography angiography for heart team decision making in multivessel coronary artery disease. Eur Heart J 2018 Google Scholar. 52.
Coverage Guidance Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Approved by HERC 8/8/2013 4 perfusion imaging and invasive coronary angiography. A number of validated clinical prediction rules exist that clinicians can use to assess the pre test probability of obstructive CAD prior to ordering a CCTA.
Dec 26 2013 The prevalence of heart failure HF is rising in industrialized and developing countries. Though invasive coronary angiography ICA remains the gold standard for anatomical assessment of coronary artery disease in HF patients alternatives are being sought. Computed tomographic coronary angiography CTA has emerged as an accurate non
Mar 01 2013 Coronary computed tomography CT angiography CTA has shown great promise with high diagnostic accuracy for the detection and exclusion of obstructive coronary artery disease CAD . 1 The purpose of this review is to highlight contemporary developments that have occurred in coronary CTA which might help bridge certain gaps in evidence. We focus
Jan 31 2013 An imaging test called coronary computed tomography angiography or coronary CTA may be preferred over coronary angiography to detect blockages in the heart. Although coronary CTA still uses contrast dye it does not require the invasive cardiac catheterization procedure that causes many of the complications of coronary angiography.
Cardiac computed tomography CT and in particular computed tomographic coronary angiography CTCA stand poised to revolutionize the way in which cardiac pathology is diagnosed and change the way in which decisions are made with regards to invasive treatment of cardiac disease. In particular the diagnosis of coronary disease the number one killer of
1 day ago To assess the associations between simple measurements of left atrial LA size and image quality of coronary computed tomography angiography CCTA . Four hundred and nineteen patients who underwent CCTA were retrospectively examined. Image quality was measured by coronary artery attenuation and
Sep 08 2020 Evaluation of coronary artery disease CAD using coronary computed tomography angiography CCTA has seen a paradigm shift in the last decade. Evidence increasingly supports the clinical utility of CCTA across various stages of CAD from detection of early subclinical disease to the assessment of acute chest pain.
Aug 09 2020 A total of 140 prospective OLT candidates without known CAD underwent coronary artery calcium CAC scans with n = 77 or without CCTA and coronary computed tomography angiography–derived fractional flow reserve FFR CT n = 57 using a dual source computed tomography CT and were followed for 2.6 ± 1.4 years. Coronary plaque was
Jan 31 2013 Cardiac CT Scan. Also known as Computed Tomography Computed Axial Tomography Scan CAT scan A cardiac CT scan is a painless imaging test that uses x rays to take many detailed pictures of your heart and its blood vessels. Overview. Computers can combine these pictures to create a three dimensional 3D model of the whole heart.
Coronary computed tomographic angiography CCTA is performed by injecting an intravenous contrast agent and then imaging the heart during a single breath hold utilizing multidetector MDCT technology. This new clinical tool allows for the noninvasive detection and quantitation of coronary artery disease CAD at a significantly higher level of safety and at a lower cost than
Invasive fractional flow reserve FFR is recommended to guide stent deployment. We previously introduced a non invasive FFR calculation FFRB based on computed tomography coronary angiography CTCA with reduced order computational fluid dynamics CFD and resistance boundary conditions. Current study aimed to assess the feasibility and accuracy of FFRB for
