Mashup Score: 6
Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) was created to standardize reporting system for patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and to guide possible next steps in patient management. The goal of this updated 2022 CAD-RADS 2.0 is to improve the initial reporting system for CCTA by considering new technical developments in Cardiac CT, including data from recent…

Mashup Score: 0From a priori to evidence and advocacy: The evolving paradigm of CCT competency for structural heart disease - 3 year(s) ago
Since 2005, the technological advances of multidetector-row cardiovascular computed tomography (MDCT) have fostered a new, modern era of multimodality imaging in cardiovascular medicine, and maturation of coronary CT is now supported by multi-guideline1-2 recommendations for first-line imaging testing for patients with suspected stable and acute forms of coronary artery disease. During the…

Mashup Score: 3Detection of small coronary calcifications in patients with Agatston coronary artery calcium score of zero - 3 year(s) ago
The conventional Agatston coronary artery calcium score (CACS) method may fail to detect very small or less dense calcified plaques; smaller than 3 continuous pixels (1 mm2) or with a density lower than 130 Hounsfield Units (HU). A significant proportion of patients classified as CACS = 0, could potentially be reclassified as >0 by altering these thresholds. The increased sensitivity with…

Mashup Score: 0Quantitative assessment of atherosclerotic plaque, recent progress and current limitations - 3 year(s) ago
An important advantage of computed tomography coronary angiography (CCTA) is its ability to visualize the presence and severity of atherosclerotic plaque, rather than just assessing coronary artery stenoses. Until recently, assessment of plaque subtypes on CCTA relied on visual assessment of the extent of calcified/non-calcified plaque, or visually identifying high-risk plaque characteristics….

Mashup Score: 4The impact of hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening on haemodynamic valve deterioration following transcatheter aortic valve replacement - 3 year(s) ago
186 patients were prospectively recruited following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) on computed-tomography (CT) imaging and to determine its impact on haemodynamic valve deterioration (HVD). Routine echocardiograms at discharge, one month and annually were performed. LT prevalence was 17.7% and HVD was present in 8.6% of the total…

Mashup Score: 7The US Preventive Services Task Force, aspirin, and coronary artery computed tomography imaging - 3 year(s) ago
Aspirin (ASA) for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the subject of considerable interest and debate, with varying estimates of CVD prevention/bleeding risk ratios, and attempts to identify the segment of the population for whom there may be net clinical benefit. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently released the following draft…

Mashup Score: 2Impact of coronary artery calcium testing on patient management - 3 year(s) ago
Among patients with coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores ≥100, 75% were started on new or more intense lipid-lowering therapy. Patients with higher CAC scores were also more likely to be prescribed other preventive pharmacologic therapies, such as aspirin and anti-hypertensives, and be recommended lifestyle modification. Rates of downstream testing were low and such testing was mostly performed…
