Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Imaging
Interventional Cardiology
Radiology

Background:

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is crucial for diagnosing coronary artery disease.
Accurate assessment of revascularisation necessity is vital for optimal patient outcomes.
Current methods may have limitations in precisely determining the need for revascularisation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a nomogram model using multi-parameter CCTA data.
To enhance the accuracy in evaluating the necessity of coronary revascularisation.
To identify key predictors for revascularisation decisions.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 335 patients requiring revascularisation and 208 not undergoing revascularisation post-CCTA.
Analysis of CCTA parameters including stenosis, plaque characteristics, and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR).
Development of multi-parameter models and a nomogram using regression analysis and R programming.

Main Results:

The multi-parameter CCTA model demonstrated superior performance (AUC 0.894) compared to individual parameters.
Key predictors identified: CCTA stenosis, positive remodelling, total plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume proportion, and CT-FFR.
A nomogram was successfully constructed based on these independent risk factors.

Conclusions:

The developed multi-parameter CCTA model significantly improves the evaluation of revascularisation necessity.
The nomogram offers a promising tool for clinical decision-making in patients with coronary artery disease.
This approach aids in more precise patient selection for revascularisation procedures.
