Multislice computed tomography appears to provide high accuracy for detecting coronary artery disease and may represent a useful complement to conventional coronary angiography, according to a study ...

Although conventional coronary angiography remains the accepted technique for assessing coronary stenoses, advances in multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) might offer a noninvasive alternative.

Cardiac multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) scanners permit visualization of the coronary arteries with an overall good sensitivity (sens) and specificity (spec). However, in obese patients ...

As technology offers more tools to help diagnose heart disease, you may need to adjust your approach. Here’s the latest on one of those new tools. One of the greatest challenges facing primary-care ...

An accurate, noninvasive technique for the diagnosis of coronary disease would be an important advance. We investigated the accuracy of coronary magnetic resonance angiography among patients with ...

A coronary angiography is a test that doctors use to look at the coronary arteries. A coronary angiography may help diagnose certain heart conditions. The coronary arteries bring oxygenated blood to ...
