Post cath ECG: Now there are hyperacute T-waves again, and recurrent ST depression in V2 This ECG would normally diagnostic of OMI until proven otherwise No further troponins were measured, but it looks like there is recurrent OMI Next day: A CT Coronary Angiogram was done (CTCA) CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION: 1. IMPRESSION: 1.

A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone. CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score Scan CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score CT Coronary Angiogram As you can see from the above images, the CTCA provides far more anatomical detail.

The amount of plaque in your coronary arteries can be estimated by looking directly at your coronary arteries with a cardiac CT and calculating your CAC score. This also means that if you have a CAC score of 0, you have no calcified plaque in your coronary arteries. Registration will close at midnight on Friday, Nov 15th.

A CT Coronary angiogram was ordered. Here are the results: --Minimally obstructive coronary artery disease. --LAD Although a lesion is not visible anatomically on this CT scan, coronary catheter angiography could be considered based on Cardiology evaluation." A repeat troponin returned at 0.45 CAD-RADS category 1. --No

Cardiology was consulted and the patient underwent coronary angiogram which showed diffuse severe three-vessel disease. Coronary angiogram shows diffuse severe three-vessel disease. Episodes of angina over past couple of months had been progressive. High sensitivity troponin I rose to peak at 2900 ng/L.
