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...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) effectively treats in-stent restenosis (ISR) in hemodialysis patients. This intervention disrupts calcified nodules, improving blood flow and offering a durable solution for complex ISR cases.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Interventional Cardiology
Nephrology

Background:

In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a significant complication in hemodialysis patients, often caused by calcified nodules.

Keywords:

calcified nodule excimer laser coronary atherectomy hemodialysis in-stent restenosis optical coherence tomography
