Abstract

Using a high-pitch dual-source CT (DSCT), we aimed to quantify the amounts of contrast media, radiation doses, and image qualities in patients undergoing pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. The study enrolled 60 patients who were randomly assigned in a 1: 1: 1 ratio to undergo ECG-gated 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT; group I, n = 20), ECG-gated 128-DSCT (group II, n = 20), and nongated 128-DSCT (group III, n = 20). The total amount of contrast media was lower in groups II and III compared with group I (I: 54.7 ± 5.6, II: 26.6 ± 2.7, and III: 28.7 ± 6.9 mL, P < 0.001). The CT dose index was lower in groups II and III compared with group I (I: 73.1 ± 5.2, II: 3.5 ± 0.1, and III: 3.7 ± 0.1 mGy, P < 0.001). The dose length product was lower in groups II and III compared with group I (I: 1154.8 ± 82.8, II: 75.4 ± 2.3, and III: 77.2 ± 1.9 mGy × cm, P < 0.001). The total CT effective radiation dose was lower in groups II and III compared with group I (I: 16.2 ± 1.2, II: 1.1 ± 0.1, and III: 1.1 ± 0.1 mSv, P < 0.001). The total CT scan duration was shorter in group III compared with groups I and II (I: 30.8 ± 2.2, II: 23.4 ± 3.6, and III: 16.0 ± 2.4 minutes, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in quality for ...Continue Reading

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. 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.
