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 CT Coronary angiogram was ordered. Here are the results: --Minimally obstructive coronary artery disease. --LAD LAD plaque with 0-25 percent stenosis. Although a lesion is not visible anatomically on this CT scan, coronary catheter angiography could be considered based on Cardiology evaluation."

Subscribe now Cardiac CT There are two types of cardiac CT: CT Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scan CT Coronary Angiogram (CTCA). The CAC scan looks for deposits of calcium in the areas of the coronary arteries as a proxy marker for plaque. It’s not a good test for assessing for plaque in the arteries.

Only after her troponin peaked at 500,000 ng/L did she get her angiogram, which showed a 100% left main occlusion due to ruptured plaque. Young people can suffer acute coronary occlusion, whether by typical atherosclerotic plaque rupture, or by coronary anomalies, coronary aneurysms, dissections, spasm, etc.

CT coronary angiogram showed a hypoplastic RCA and dominant LCx. There were no plaques or stenoses. A workup was undertaken in search of a cause of the patient's ventricular arrhythmia. As noted above echocardiography was completely normal. Once the arrhythmia was under control cardiac MRi was performed. Van Zyl, M., &
