Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

134
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...

Coronary Artery Disease I: Introduction

72
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): An Overview with Scientific InsightsCoronary Artery Disease (CAD), often referred to as C-A-D, is a prevalent blood vessel disorder classified under the broader category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process characterized by the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, inflammatory cells, calcium, and fibrin, reducing blood flow to...

Coronary Artery Disease II: Pathophysiology

48
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) originates from a series of events that impair the function of coronary arteries, the blood vessels responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The pathophysiology of CAD is closely linked to atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory and lipid-driven condition affecting the vascular endothelium.1. Endothelial DamageThe process begins with damage to the vascular endothelium, which serves as a protective barrier between the blood and the vessel...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

27
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...

Coronary Artery Disease IV: Preventive Measures

44
Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Coronary atherosclerosis restricts blood flow, increasing heart attack risk.
  • Progression of atherosclerosis is linked to various risk factors, but fatigue is understudied.
  • Understanding factors influencing stenosis progression is crucial for clinical risk assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between biomechanical fatigue and coronary stenosis progression.
  • To assess if fatigue-related factors can predict atherosclerosis progression.
  • To utilize intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging and finite element models for this investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed IVUS-based thin-slice models from seven patients' data.
  • Measured coronary biomechanics and stress/strain amplitudes as indicators of fatigue.
  • Calculated change in lumen area (DLA) to quantify stenosis progression.
  • Employed Random Forest (RF) method to identify predictive factors and assess classification accuracy.

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations found between stenosis progression and maximum/average stress and average strain amplitudes (p < 0.05).
  • RF model identified eight key factors, including fatigue, for predicting stenosis progression.
  • RF model achieved 83.61% overall accuracy, 86.25% sensitivity, and 80.69% specificity in predicting progression.

Conclusions:

  • Biomechanical fatigue is positively correlated with coronary stenosis progression.
  • Fatigue-related factors enhance the prediction accuracy of atherosclerosis progression.
  • Incorporating fatigue metrics may improve clinical risk stratification for cardiovascular events.
