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...

Qualitative And Quantitative Image Quality Of Coronary CT Angiography Using Novel Photon-counting Computed Tomography
Introduction: Novel photon-counting CT (PCCT) has improved spatial resolution compared to energy-integrating detector CT. We aimed to identify the optimal reconstruction settings based on qualitative and quantitative image quality parameters on standard and ultra-high resolution (UHR) images for the assessment of coronary arteries and stents.

Relationship Between Coronary Artery Inflammation And The Presence Of Atrial Fibrillation Assessed By Ccta Imaging
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) can manifest at any stage during the progression of diverse cardiovascular diseases, the majority of which exhibit an underlying inflammatory pathophysiology. Presently, perivascular inflammation can be evaluated through the utilization of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) imaging techniques. The recently introduced pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI HU) alongside the FAI Score, an individualized quantification of coronary artery inflammation while accounting for age and gender factors, demonstrate prognostic significance in forecasting forthcoming cardiovascular ev...

Ultra-high Resolution Coronary CT Angiography On Photon-counting Detector CT: Impact Of Quantum Iterative Reconstruction
Introduction: Ultra-high resolution (UHR) coronary CT angiography (CCTA) imaging with photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) is achieved at the expense of increased image noise. Quantum iterative reconstruction (QIR) is an algorithm developed for PCD-CT that may provide a denoising effect without compromising image texture. The aim of the current investigation was to assess the impact of different QIR levels on objective and subjective image quality and to determine the accuracy of stenosis quantification.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue And Evaluation Of Inflammation In Coronary Arteries Using A Novel Computed Tomography Marker
Introduction: Pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) imaging is a novel marker of coronary vascular inflammation with prognostic value for major cardiovascular events and used in combination with epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) can offer a more complex cardiovascular risk stratification. There is sparse data regarding the volume of EAT and FAI. We analysed the level of inflammation and its relation regarding EAT using CCTA. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

Hyperthymic Temperament Is Inversely Associated With Severe Coronary Artery Disease On Coronary CT Angiography
Introduction: During the last few decades, there have been several research studies that have demonstrated the existence of a bidirectional relationship between psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases. However, it was only a few years ago that the effect of personality traits on cardiovascular diseases was examined. Our study aims to further evaluate the association between affective temperaments (depressive, cyclothymic, hyperthymic, irritable and anxious) and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
