Coronary angiography after cardiac arrest: what is our reality?Eurointervention
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death in both men and women in the UK according to the NHS.
For identifying or excluding of obstructive coronary stenosis, CT coronary angiography was shown to be more cost-saving at apretest probability of CHD of 50 % or lower, and invasive coronary angiography at a pretest probability of CHD of 70 % or higher. Is there an alternative to an angiogram?
A cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan – which can also be referred to as a coronary CT angiography or CT angiogram – is an imaging test to view the heart and blood vessels. It is a test that carries few risks and is less invasive than alternative procedures such as an angiogram....
Describe a coronary angiography. What is it, how is it performed, and why would it be performed? Are there any contraindications to it being performed? What is ventricular hypertrophy and what are its symptoms? What is unstable angina?
Coronary CT angiography (CTA) allows your physician to see whether or not plaque has developed in the coronary arteries that may result in “blockages” that might cause symptoms or increase your risk of a future heart attack. Benefits of CTA CTA is especially useful to decide that the ...
A tube with a balloon on the end is put into the blocked artery. When the tube is in the artery, the balloon is inflated. As the balloon inflates, it presses the plaque against the artery wall to open the artery. A stent may be placed in your artery to keep it open. Coronary ...
What is coronary artery disease (CAD)?CAD is narrowing of the arteries to your heart caused by a buildup of plaque (cholesterol and other substances). The narrowing in your arteries decreases the amount of blood that can flow to your heart. This causes your heart to get less oxygen, ...
The number of computed tomography (CT) scanners capable of imaging the coronary arteries is increasing exponentially in the Western world. Expectations are that CT coronary angiography (CTCA) will replace conventional angiography in many patients. However, there is hardly any evidence showing that multi...
