Incidental Non-cardiac Findings in Cardiovascular Imaging

Abstract: Improvements in imaging techniques have led to an expansion in the number of cross-sectional cardiac studies being performed. This means that incidental non-cardiac findings (INCF) identified on cardiac imaging have become an important clinical concern. The majority of INCF are not clinically significant. However, some INCF will require follow-up or changes in management. Differentiating clinically significant from non-significant INCF can be challenging, particularly given the breadth of potential findings an… Show more

“…Additionally, on routine CCTA up to 10% of patients have clinically significant noncardiac findings, including infection or malignancy . However, these incidental findings add downstream testing costs and can cause some patients undue stress while waiting for follow‐up results . The requirement for iodinated contrast is associated with a risk of contrast‐induced nephropathy and necessitates premedication for patients with contrast allergies.…”

“…(10,11) A prevalência de AI de malignidade em todos os pacientes submetidos à ATC é pequena (estimada em 0,7%), e a maioria deles (72%) será de câncer de pulmão (primário ou secundário). (4,5) Mesmo em pacientes com câncer conhecido em outra parte do corpo, pequenos NP incidentais muitas vezes são benignos e não devem impedir o tratamento para a malignidade primária até que se prove que são metástases. Da mesma forma, o segundo câncer de pulmão primário pode ter um prognóstico melhor do que o câncer de pulmão metastático e ainda ser um candidato a tratamento.…”
