In the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), computed tomography (CT) is an accurate, noninvasive alternative to invasive angiography (ICA). However, comparative effectiveness CT and ICA in management CAD reduce frequency major adverse cardiovascular events uncertain.We conducted a pragmatic, randomized trial comparing with as initial diagnostic imaging strategies for guiding treatment patients stable chest pain who had intermediate pretest probability were referred at one...
Napkin-ring sign (NRS) is an independent prognostic imaging marker of major adverse cardiac events. However, identification NRS challenging because its qualitative nature. Radiomics the process extracting thousands quantitative parameters from medical images to create big-data data sets that can identify distinct patterns in radiological images. Therefore, we sought determine whether radiomic analysis improves plaques.From 2674 patients referred coronary computed tomographic angiography...
Advances of cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) have been developed for dose reduction, but their efficacy in clinical practice is largely unknown. This study was designed to evaluate radiation exposure and utilization dose-saving strategies contrast-enhanced CTA daily practice. Sixty one hospitals from 32 countries prospectively enrolled 4502 patients undergoing during calendar month 2017. Computed scan data images were analysed a central core lab compared with similar survey...
Anthracyclines are cardiotoxic; however, there limited data characterizing the serial changes in cardiac structure and function after anthracyclines. The aim of this study was to use magnetic resonance characterize anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity mice.This a longitudinal histological 45 wild-type male mice randomized doxorubicin (n=30, 5 mg/kg doxorubicin/week for weeks) or placebo (n=15). A performed at baseline 5, 10, 20 weeks randomization. Measures primary interest included left...
Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in asymptomatic individuals, whereas its role symptomatic patients is less clear. Purpose To assess the of CAC scoring MACE participants with stable chest pain initially referred invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Materials and Methods This prespecified subgroup analysis from Diagnostic Imaging Strategies Patients With Stable Chest Pain Intermediate Risk Artery Disease (DISCHARGE)...
BACKGROUND: A recent simulation study proposed that stenosis measurements on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography are influenced by the improved spatial resolution of photon-counting detector (PCD)-CT. The aim current was to evaluate impact ultrahigh-spatial-resolution (UHR) and Coronary Artery Disease Reporting Data System (CAD-RADS) reclassification rates in patients undergoing CT both PCD-CT energy-integrating (EID)-CT compare against quantitative angiography. METHODS: Patients...
Coronary plaque quantification using ultrahigh-spatial-resolution photon-counting detector CT reduced visualized total volume by nearly one-third and improved the reproducibility of low-attenuation measurements compared with that energy-integrating CT.
Background: Genetics have a strong influence on calcified atherosclerotic plaques; however, data regarding the heritability of noncalcified plaque volume are scarce. We aimed to evaluate genetic versus environmental influences calcium (coronary artery calcification) score, and volumes by coronary computed tomography angiography in adult twin pairs without known disease. Methods: In prospective BUDAPEST-GLOBAL (Burden Atherosclerotic Plaques Study Twins—Genetic Loci Burden Lesions) classical...
Virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) from photon-counting CT (PCCT) may change quantitative coronary plaque volumes. We aimed to assess how component volumes with respect VMIs.Coronary angiography (CTA) were acquired using a dual-source PCCT and VMIs reconstructed between 40 180 keV in 10-keV increments. Polychromatic at 120 kVp (T3D) used as reference. Quantitative analysis was performed on T3D segmentation masks copied VMI reconstructions. Calcified (CP; > 350 Hounsfield units, HU),...
Background and Purpose Interventions to reduce the risk for cerebrovascular events (CVE; stroke transient ischemic attack [TIA]) after radiotherapy (RT) head neck cancer (HNCA) are needed. Among broad populations, statins CVEs; however, whether CVEs RT HNCA is unclear. Therefore, we aimed test incidental statin use at time of associated with a lower rate HNCA. Methods From an institutional database identified all consecutive subjects treated from 2002 2012 Data collection event adjudication...
To assess the comparative effectiveness of computed tomography and invasive coronary angiography in women men with stable chest pain suspected to be caused by artery disease. Prospective, multicentre, randomised pragmatic trial. Hospitals at 26 sites 16 European countries. 2002 (56.2%) 1559 (43.8%) (total 3561 patients) disease referred for on basis a pre-test probability obstructive 10-60%. Both were 1:1 (with stratification gender centre) strategy either or as initial diagnostic test (1019...
