Scanner in cardiac and vascular pathology

La Revue du praticien

Abstract

Computerized tomography (CT) has become a routine examination, but it is not well suited to the study of vascular and cardiac pathology. However, CT scans are very useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of aortic aneurysms and dissections, in the postoperative follow-up of surgical cardiac patients and in some cardiac pathologies, such as thrombosis or tumors.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
