Study of estimation of coronary artery calcium by multi-slice spiral CT scan in post myocardial infarction cases

Abstract: Background: Strong relationship has been demonstrated between the presence of occlusive CAD and coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected at autopsy, fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT scan). CT scan quantifies the relative burden of CAC deposits as a marker of atherosclerosis. Study explored utility of multi-slice spiral CT scan for detection of CAC in post myocardial infarction cases.Methods: Fifty-one post myocardial infarction cases were enrolled in the study. Detailed clinical history was recorded… Show more

“…Acute coronary artery thrombosis can be caused by plaque erosion (in about 30%), which is associated with low calcification. 29,30 Plaque erosion is more frequent in certain groups of patients, especially the young, smokers, and women. 30,31 In the ACE group, we found significant ischemia (mild or severe) based on the perfusion data in only 50% of patients, which is lower than the broadly reported sensitivity of SPECT-MPI (approximately 70%-90%).…”
