Background— The presence and extent of coronary artery calcium (CAC) are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events. We determined whether information on the distribution CAC dominance as detected by cardiac computed tomography were incremental to traditional Agatston score (AS) in predicting incident major heart disease (CHD). Methods Results— assessed total AS per artery, segment, participants from offspring third-generation cohorts Framingham Heart Study. primary outcome was...
To evaluate whether radiomics signature of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) based on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could improve the prediction future acute syndrome (ACS) within 3 years.We designed a retrospective case-control study that patients with ACS (n = 90) were well matched to no cardiac events 1496) during years follow-up, then which randomly divided into training and test datasets ratio 3:1. A total 107 features extracted from PCAT surrounding lesions 14...
We sought to evaluate the effect of application revised 2010 Task Force Criteria (TFC) on prevalence major and minor Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) criteria for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) versus original 1994 TFC. also assessed utility MRI identify alternative diagnoses patients referred ARVC evaluation. 968 consecutive our institution CMR with clinical suspicion from 1995 2010, were evaluated presence per included right ventricle (RV) dilatation, reduced...
Background: The association between abnormal invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the fat attenuation index (FAI) of lesion-specific peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) is unclear. Method: Data patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) subsequent (ICA) FFR measurement within 1 week were retrospectively included. Lesion-specific FAI (FAIlesion), lesion-free (FAInormal), epicardial (EAT) volume was collected, along with stenosis severity plaque...
Abstract Several pincer ligated nickel mercapto complexes, [2,6‐(R 2 PCH ) C 6 H 3 ]NiSH (R= t Bu, 1 a ; i Pr, b ), PO) and [4‐MeOCO‐2,6‐( Bu ( were synthesized fully characterized. The reactivity of the groups against boron hydrides organic bases was investigated. It found that are difficult to be deprotonated by or bases. treatment complex with an excess amount catecholborane (HBcat) afforded corresponding borohydride complexes HBcat degradation product. , BH ⋅THF produced species...
The present study aimed to investigate the association between myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantified by dynamic CT perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) and increments in heart rate (HR) after stress patients without obstructive coronary artery disease.We retrospectively included 204 subjects who underwent both CT-MPI angiography (CCTA). Patients with more than minimal stenosis (diameter ≥ 25%), history of infarction/revascularization, cardiomyopathy, microvascular dysfunction were excluded. Global...
Although many studies have examined the relationship between uric acid (UA) and coronary artery disease (CAD), whether UA is an independent risk factor contributing to progression of CAD still controversial. Whether plays a different role in sexes also unclear.A total 1116 individuals with suspected were stratified into four groups according their serum quartiles (men women combined), men, women. The association atherosclerosis was assessed by univariable multivariable logistic regression.In...
This study aimed to explore the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR-TT) technology in quantitative evaluation left myocardial infarction for differentiating between acute and chronic infarction.A total 104 human subjects were enrolled this prospective study. Among them, 64 healthy 40 patients with ventricular 7 days 6 months' follow-up CMR studies, including steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence late gadolinium enhancement MR imaging, enrolled. The...
T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is commonly used in the diagnosis of intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH). For quantifying IMH with CMR, despite lack consensus studies, two different methods [subject-specific (ssT2*) and absolute thresholding (aT2* < 20 ms)] are interchangeably used. We examined whether these approaches yield equivalent information. ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients (n = 70) were prospectively recruited for CMR at 4–7 days post revascularization...
Background: Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) is considered as a source of inflammatory mediators, leading to the development coronary atherosclerosis. The study aimed investigate correlation between PCAT quality derived from dual-layer spectral detector CT (SDCT) and severity artery disease (CAD), whether parameters were independently associated with presence CAD. Materials Methods: A total 403 patients symptoms chest pain who underwent SDCT included. including fat attenuation index (FAI)...
We aim to evaluate the relationship between quantitative plaque characteristics detected by dual-source computed tomography angiography (DSCTA) and myocardial ischemia as assessed single photon emission perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI).In this study, 460 consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent DSCTA stress/rest SPECT-MPI, 179 plaques were quantitatively analyzed. Quantitative measurements including total volume, volume of non-calcified plaque, calcified...
Background The degree of intravascular enhancement influences the diagnosis plaque in coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). Purpose To evaluate whether protocol tailored to body surface area (BSA) achieving identical different habitus patients receiving concentration contrast agents (CA) CTA. Material and Methods Patients undergoing CTA randomly received a CA with adapted BSA. Attenuation standard deviation were measured at ascending aorta (AAo), left anterior descending artery...
Background: LA function has been recognized as a significant prognostic marker in many cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) represents promising technique for left atrial evaluation. The size and location of myocardial infarction are important factors the cause adverse ventricular remodeling, but effect on atriam is unclear. Purpose: to investigate previous (MI) using CMR-FT. Study type: retrospective. Population: patients formerly diagnosed...
