If your scan shows any problems with your valves, you may be referred to a cardiology clinic to discuss your management plan and have further tests, such as a coronary angiogram or a cardiac CT scan.

Introduction. Decompensated aortic valvular stenosis is a condition characterised by high mortality if treated medically and a significantly increased risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity in ...

Objective CT quantification of aortic valve calcification (CT-AVC) is useful in the assessment of aortic stenosis severity. Our objective was to assess its ability to track aortic stenosis progression ...

The noncontrast computed tomography aortic valve calcification (CT-AVC) score has been validated as an ancillary measure to resolve ambiguity about AS severity and is supported by international ...

Objectives The aims of this study were to evaluate the inconsistency of aortic stenosis (AS) severity between CT aortic valve area (CT-AVA) and echocardiographic Doppler parameters, and to investigate ...

Objective High-pitch protocols are increasingly used in cardiovascular CT assessment for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), but the impact on diagnostic image quality is not known.Methods ...

A CT scan found “no evidence of pulmonary embolism” but found “left ventricular wall thickening, no pericardial effusion, and an aneurysmal aortic root measure 4.5CM,” according to the suit.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation treats aortic stenosis without an open-heart surgery. Skip to main ... cardiac imaging tests such as echocardiograms or CT scans will have to be done.

Aortic stenosis: Calcium buildup and ... If a person has calcific aortic valve disease, doctors may send them for a CT scan or a left heart catheterization if other tests have not been conclusive.

Images from the diastolic phase of the ECG-gated CT scan were used to provide geometry for the computational model . CT scan slices were 0.625 mm contiguous axial slices acquired on a GE Lightspeed ...
