Assessment of coronary stenosis by 256-slice spiral CT / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To assess coronary stenosis using 256-slice spiral CT (CTA).Methods:The data of 126 pa-tients diagnosed as coronary heart disease (CHD)using CTA and coronary angiography (CAG)Were retrospectively analyzed.The CAG results for CHD Were regarded as “gold standard”diagnosing CHD.The CTA diagnostic value for CHD and consistency of CAG and CTA diagnosing coronary stenosis Were analyzed.Results:A total of 393 cor-onary segments Were assessed using CTA.According to CAG results for CHD ,the CTA diagnostic accuracy Was 89.3%,sensitivity Was 91.4%,specificity Was 84.8%,negative predictive value Was 82.2% and positive predictive value Was 92.8%;the consistency of CAG and CTA diagnosing coronary stenosis Was good (Kappa value =0.755, P<0.01).Conclusion:The 256-slice spiral CT can diagnosing coronary stenosis,it possesses high sensitivity in di-agnosing vascular stenosis;as a simple and noninvasive examination it can be used as a reliable method for early screening subhealthy population and reexamine of putients With coronary heart disease.
