冠状动脉 (CAC) 可以在非心脏性胸部CT扫描上测量,为评估动脉样硬化心血管疾病 (ASCVD) 风险提供一种免费的方法. 这种偶然的CAC评估确定了那些可能受益于增强预防疗法的风险患者.
科学领域:
- 心脏病学 心脏病学
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 预防医学 预防医学
背景情况:
- 冠状动脉 (CAC) 是亚临床冠状动脉样硬化的关键指标,也是动脉样硬化心血管疾病 (ASCVD) 风险的强有力的预测因素.
- 虽然专用心脏CT是CAC量化的标准,但非心脏胸部CT扫描也允许进行具有可比预后价值的定性和定量CAC评估.
研究的目的:
- 审查CAC评分的基本原理,强调在非心脏胸部CT扫描上检测和量化偶然的CAC.
- 讨论关于报告和管理偶然CAC发现的技术方面,挑战和建议.
- 突出偶然CAC测量的潜力,作为ASCVD预防的未充分利用的策略.
主要方法:
- 对CAC量化和胸部CT的偶然发现现有文献的审查.
- 讨论用于偶然CAC检测和测量的技术方法.
- 介绍临床经验和建议,以将偶然的CAC评估纳入常规实践.
主要成果:
- 在非心脏性胸部CT上进行偶然的CAC测量是可行的,并提供与专用CAC扫描相似的预后信息.
- 每年进行的胸部CT扫描数量几乎是专用CAC扫描的20倍,这代表了ASCVD风险识别的重大机会.
- 标准化的报告和管理协议可以促进偶然的CAC发现的临床实用性.
结论:
- 在常规胸部CT扫描上进行偶然的CAC评估是一种有价值的,低成本的工具,用于识别ASCVD高风险的个体.
- 将偶然的CAC测量纳入临床实践可以加强预防策略并改善患者的治疗结果.
- 未来的进步,包括人工智能,可能会进一步自动化和改进偶然的CAC解释.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
