Abstract

Contrast-enhanced multidetector cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing anatomic coronary stenoses, but its role in predicting late clinical outcome events has not been well studied. We examined predictive value of CCTA for late major adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcome events (MACE)(CV death, myocardial infarction, myocardial revascularization) (follow-up 18.2+/-6.3, range 9-30 months) in 545 consecutive symptomatic patients (368 (68%) men, 177 (32%) women) with clinical suspicion, but without previously diagnosed, coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent 40- or 64-channel CCTA. MACE occurred in 53/545 (9.7%) patients (early 30 day CCTA-driven events excluded): CV death/myocardial infarction in 3/327 (0.9%) patients with no coronary luminal narrowing >25% (group 1), in 3/127 (2.4%) with >or=1 luminal narrowing(s) of 26-69% (group 2) and in 9/91 (9.9%) with >or=1 coronary luminal narrowing(s) of >or=70% (group 3) (p<0.0001). CV death/myocardial infarction/revascularization occurred in 5/327 (1.5%) group 1 patients, 19/127 (14.9%) group 2 and 29/91 (31.9%) group 3 (p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis (adjusting for age, gender, coronary risk factors and coronary calcium...Continue Reading

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
