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 CAC scan can only identify if there is calcified atherosclerosis, where it is and to what extent. A CTCA provides much more anatomical detail and can identify advanced plaque often missed by CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score scans alone. A CT CAC scan of 0 indicates no significant amount of calcified atherosclerosis.

There is an area of dense white in the middle of the circle consistent with atherosclerosis. They too have dense white masses consistent with coronary atherosclerosis. . __ Here are some Images: The red circle shows the LAD coursing down the anterior interventricular sulcus. The blue circle shows the LCx.

There is appreciable STE aVR with near-global STD that appropriately maximizes in Leads II and V5, and thus suggesting a circumstance of generic, diffusely populated, circumferential subendocardial ischemia versus occlusive coronary thrombus. [1] It’s judicious, then, to arrange for coronary angiogram. Does the ECG normalize?

The most common way to assess the presence and extent of coronary artery disease is with a CT scan, called a CT CAC score or CT Coronary Angiogram. These noninvasive scans look directly at the coronary arteries rather than assessing for the risk factors for coronary artery disease eg LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure etc.
