Klinische toepassing van CT coronair angiografie
Abstract
Stable angina is a common and disabling disease with coronary artery disease (CAD) accounting for 68% of heart related deaths (I). Common risk factors for CAD 1nclude hypertension, h1gh cholesterol levels, cigarette smoking, obesity, and a family history of heart disease. Traditionally ischemic testing include exercise ECG and stress myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT) for the non-invasive detection of inducible ischemia. Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is generally considered the standard of reference for the detection of significant CAD.
