Photon-counting Detector Ct Reduces The Rate Of Referrals To Invasive Coronary Angiography As Compared To Ct With Whole Heart Coverage Energy-integrating Detector
Introduction: We sought to compare the degree of maximal stenosis and the rate of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) recommendations in patients who underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) versus those who underwent CCTA with whole heart coverage energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT).

Prevalence And Prediction Of Non-calcified Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaques In Men And Women With Zero Coronary Artery Calcium Score
Introduction: Data are inconsistent regarding the prevalence of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with zero coronary artery calcium score (CACS). We aimed tWe included consecutive patients who underwent coronary CTA and had zero CACS in our retrospective analysis. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the independent predictors of the presence of any NCP. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

Prognosis Of Zero Coronary Artery Calcium Score In Symptomatic Patients Of South Asian Descent - An Experience From A Tertiary Care Center In Pakistan
Introduction: The absence of Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) in asymptomatic individuals is associated with a very low incidence of cardiovascular events. 1-2% of symptomatic patients with chest pain, and a zero CAC score, have non-calcified coronary artery atherosclerosis, and at least one-third of cardiovascular events occur in individuals with zero CAC. South Asians (SA) have proportionally higher case fatality rates for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), relatively younger age of presentation, and accelerated rate of atherosclerosis.

Photon-counting Detector CT-based Calcium Removal Algorithm: Impact On Stenosis Grading And CT-FFR Values
Introduction: CT based fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) measurement provides a non-invasive hemodynamic analysis of coronaries based on computational fluid dynamics. Blooming artifacts from heavily calcified plaques however could lead to inaccurate lumen detection and consequently altered stenosis grading and CT-FFR assessment. In the current preliminary study, we aimed to examine the effect of a calcium removal algorithm on coronary stenosis grading and CT-FFR values compared to measurements based on standard image reconstruction.

Non-invasive Longitudinal Hemodynamic Phenotypes Of Coronary Arteries With Atherosclerosis And Association With Myocardial Perfusion
Introduction: CT-Simulated Pressure Loss Index (CTSPLI) was developed as a coronary-artery-specific index based on computational longitudinal hemodynamics describing coronary artery disease (CAD) patterns as focal or diffuse using CCTA. We investigated the interplay between CAD phenotypes and arterial atherosclerotic burden and their association with myocardial perfusion defects.

Tracking Coronary Plaque Evolution With CT-FFR: Preliminary Results
Introduction: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and fractional flow reserve by CTA (CT-FFR) are increasingly utilised to characterise coronary artery disease. The interrelation between coronary flow and plaque modification tracked over time may provide a more integrated insight into the atherosclerotic process. Based on serial CTA studies, we analysed the relationship between distal-vessel CT-FFR and coronary plaque characteristics. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

The Role Of The Fai Index And The Coronary Calcium Score In Determining The Increased Risk In The Coronary Shaft
Introduction: Assessing the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score through Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is a valuable tool in predicting future cardiovascular events. Coronary inflammation, measured by Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) technology in epicardial fat using CTA, has been shown to be correlated with an increased risk associated with coronary heart disease. The aim of the study was to emphasize the correlation between the CAC score and the FAI index of coronary inflammation in the determination of cardiovascular risk in patients.

The Severity Of Coronary Artery Calcium And Myocardial Blood Flow In Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Introduction: The interplay between anatomical lesions of coronary arteries, specifically coronary artery calcium score (CAC), and myocardial blood flow (MBF) in non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) patients remains unclear. The purpose of the study is to assess the relationships between coronary artery calcium (CAC) and myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD).

Prevalence Of Coronary Artery And Valvular Calcification On Outpatient Abdominal Computed Tomography
Introduction: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) indicates the presence of coronary artery disease, and is associated with adverse cardiovascular events and mortality. Guidelines recommend reporting CAC on thoracic computed tomography (CT), but there are no guidelines for abdominal CT. We aimed to determine how much of the heart was visible on abdominal CT, the prevalence of CAC and valvular calcification, and local radiology reporting practices.

A High Coronary Calcium Score And Increased Epicardial Fat Assessed By Ccta Are Associated With Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Following Catheter Ablation
Introduction: Ablation therapy is an invasive therapeutic procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF) that can be associated with high costs and possible periprocedural complications. Proper patient selection plays an important role in reducing the risk of arrhythmia recurrence. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) derived parameters have been shown to predict AF recurrence after ablation. The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of CCTA imaging parameters acquired during the preprocedural workup of patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation for AF in correlation with the risk of arrhythmia recurren...
