ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the value of double source multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in visualization of cardiac veins in patients with chronic heart failure.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-five patients with chronic heart failure (aged 65.4 ± 8.8, 21 males and 14 females) were enrolled in the study. In Group A, MDCT and retrograde coronary venography (RCV) were performed consecutively; in Group B anterograde visualization of the coronary venous and RCV were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Coronary sinus, GCV and MCV of all individuals were identified in MDCT. LVPV was observed in 65% patients of Group A, and 66.7% patients of Group B. The correlation coefficient between MDCT and RCV was 0.944, and that between CVG and RCV was 0.42.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Non-invasive evaluation of cardiac veins with double source CT is feasible and may be used in cardiac resynchronization therapy.</p>
