This is important because coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) has become the preferred noninvasive imaging exam to help clinicians detect and rule out coronary artery disease ...

Noninvasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a cost-effective alternative to invasive cardiac catheterization in the care of patients who have positive stress test results but a ...

Two potential uses of CTA are addressed in this report; 1) Use of CTA to diagnose coronary artery stenosis, and 2) use of CTA in the evaluation of acute chest pain.

Although coronary CTA exams are growing in use, coronary angiograms remain the "gold standard" for detecting coronary artery stenosis, which is a significant narrowing of an artery that could ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs due to plaque buildup in the heart’s arteries. The plaque causes a narrowing, or stenosis, of the arteries, which reduces or blocks blood flow.

A newly developed, non-invasive imaging test can help identify which patients with coronary artery blockage or narrowing need angioplasty or a bypass procedure, a new study says.

The study, published in the Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, demonstrates that schisandrin A can effectively relax pig coronary arteries, potentially paving the way for new treatments to prevent ...
