During a coronary CT angiogram, advanced CT technology and injected dye are used to take high-resolution 3D images of your heart. The 3D pictures of the beating heart and major blood vessels are used to identify coronary artery blockages. From the 3D images, your health care team can see i...
With higher sensitivity than specificity, CCT might induce unnecessary angiograms ("false positive CCT"). We sought to determine the patients and CCT findings associated with false positive CCT. Methods: Patients were prospectively referred to CCT with a 64-slice CT scan for suspected CAD. ...

Postangiogram, the patient had a small acute frontal embolic infarct. LMWH was escalated to ∼30% above standard dose; that is, dalteparin 12 500 and 10 000 units 12 hourly, with target peak anti–factor Xa levels 1.0 to 1.20 U/mL. One year later, the patient had an unprovoked right...
