Background There are few reports of quantitative and qualitative measuring of left main
coronary artery (LMCA) plaques by multislice computed tomography coronary angiography …

Objective To explore the diagnostic feasibility of noninvasive assessment of coronary
atherosclerotic plaques with MSCT in comparison with IVUS. Methods Contrast-enhanced …

Objective: To comparatively evaluate black-blood coronary arterial wall MRI and 64-
multidetector computed tomography (64-MDCT) for detection and classification of coronary …

We have evaluated the prevalence of left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) among
patients referred to multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography …

Background Left main coronary artery (LMCA) atherosclerosis is a high-risk disease but its
occurrence is often underestimated by coronary angiography. Intravascular ultrasound …

Background: A high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to a high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is associated with cardiac events, while the left main coronary …

Objectives Although the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is clinically the most important site,
little is known about the longitudinal plaque distribution and composition in the significant …

PURPOSE: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a novel non-invasive test for
detection and analysis of coronary artery plaques. A systematic review was conducted of the …

Background: Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) is a fast-growing technology that
permits a non-invasive, yet reliable, assessment of coronary atherosclerosis. We sought to …

Background: Accurately, characterizing plaques is critical for selecting the optimal
intervention strategy for the left main coronary artery (LMCA) bifurcation. Coronary …
