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...
L-Arginineis converted to nitric oxide, an important substance for arterial health. Research by Furchgott and other showed that nitric oxide (NO) relaxes arterial smooth muscle, dilating coronary arteries by up to 50%.(35) However, Nitric Oxide (NO) is gone after a few seconds, so it must...
Cardiac imaging:Advanced imaging techniques, such as a coronary CT (computed tomography) scan, or cardiac MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), can provide detailed clues about how strong the heart pumps, how well the heart valve performs, whether there are blockages in the heart, and much more.16...
Two Coronary CT Angiogram (CCTA) studies demonstrated that patients with stable coronary artery disease on statin therapy randomized to high dose EPA and DHA had “prevention of coronary plaque progression when an omega-3 fatty acid index >= 4% was achieved.” ...
Coronary catheterization.A long, thin tube is inserted into an artery, usually through the groin. Using a dye, it provides a clearer picture of the condition of your arteries and where blockages may be. This is also called an angiogram or a heart cath. Certain treatments also can be done...
Methods: Patients were prospectively referred to CCT with a 64-slice CT scan for suspected CAD. Inclusion criteria were: 1) clinically suspected angina pectoris;or 2) suspected silent ischemia on resting EKG. Exclusion criteria were acute coronary syndrome and non sinus rhythm. Invasive coronary ...
056 How to reduce unnecessary angiograms when patients are initially evaluated by coronary CT for coronary artery disease?Introduction The impact of missing data (MD) on the validity of results, although often discussed, is not often investigated. Sensitivity analyses under different scenarios of non...
