Myocardial bridges and mural coronary artery:identification with multi-slice CT versus coronary angiography / 中华放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the feasibility of multi-slices computed tomography(MSCT)versus coronary angiography(CAG)for identification of myocardial bridges and mural coronary artery(MB-MCA).Methods For 76 patients suspecting coronary heart disease the MSCT and CAG were performed for the coronary imaging.The MB-MCAs were identified on the CT images and angiograms by radiologists and cardiologists separately and independently before and after consulting each other.The data was statistically analyzed using ?2-squrae test.Results Before consulting each other,29 MB-MCA in 27 patients and 2 MB-MCA in two cases were detected using MSCT and CAG by radiologists and cardiologist separately and independently with significant difference statistically(?2=10.52,P
