Value of Electron-Beam Computed Tomography for the Noninvasive Detection of High-Grade Coronary-Artery Stenoses and Occlusions
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Reliable noninvasive assessment of coronary-artery stenoses and occlusions would constitute an advantage in the care of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. We investigated the accuracy of contrast-enhanced electron-beam computed tomography (CT) for the detection of high-grade coronary-artery stenoses and occlusions. METHODS: Electron-beam CT was performed in 125 patients. After intravenous injection of a contrast agent, 40 cross-sectional images of the heart were acquired during inspiration, triggered by the electrocardiogram in diastole. Three-dimensional reconstructions of the heart and coronary arteries were rendered to facilitate evaluation of the images. The proximal and middle segments of the major coronary arteries were evaluated for the presence or absence of high-grade stenoses and occlusions. The results were compared with those of invasive coronary angiography in a blinded fashion. RESULTS: Because of technical problems that impaired the quality of the images, 124 (25 percent) of the 500 coronary arteries studied (left main, left anterior descending, left circumflex, and right coronary) in a total of 125 patients were excluded from evaluation. No vessels could be evaluated in 19 patients (15 percent), and another 28 patients (22 percent) had one, two, or three vessels that could not be evaluated. In the remaining coronary arteries with adequate image quality, electron-beam CT permitted visualization of 69 of 75 high-grade stenoses and occlusions (sensitivity, 92 percent), whereas in 282 of 301 arteries, the absence of high-grade stenoses and occlusions was correctly detected (specificity, 94 percent). CONCLUSIONS: When image quality is adequate, electron-beam CT may be useful to detect or rule out high-grade coronary-artery stenoses and occlusions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
