Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

468
Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The DeyeCOM sign, or conjugate gaze deviation on computed tomography, can aid in rapid stroke diagnosis. A deviation of 15° or more on imaging strongly correlates with a final stroke diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Rapid stroke diagnosis is critical for effective treatment.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is a common initial imaging modality for suspected stroke.
  • Gaze deviation has been identified as a potential indicator of stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic and predictive utility of the "DeyeCOM sign" (conjugate gaze deviation on stroke code imaging).
  • To assess the correlation between gaze deviation and stroke diagnosis in emergency care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of stroke code imaging from the University of California, San Diego database (2007-2013).
  • Patients were categorized as DeyeCOM+ (conjugate gaze deviation present) or DeyeCOM-.
  • Statistical analysis included Fisher exact test for categorical and Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables.

Main Results:

  • Of 342 patients, 106 (31%) were DeyeCOM+.
  • DeyeCOM+ patients had higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores (6.8 vs. 5.6; P = .03).
  • A gaze deviation of 15° or more was significantly correlated with a final stroke diagnosis (63.9% vs. 47.9%; P = .03).

Conclusions:

  • The DeyeCOM sign and gaze deviation severity are valuable indicators in stroke evaluation.
  • Early identification of gaze deviation on imaging can augment clinical decision-making for rapid stroke assessment.
  • This sign holds potential implications for optimizing emergency stroke care pathways.
