1
Q

Quantifies CAC as a function of CAC surface area and density.

A

Agatston score

In some studies a CAC score of more than 300 or greater has been used as an alrernative threahold to described severely elevated CAC level

Q

T or F. A normal CCTA appears to confer at least a 5-year warranty period

A

True

17
Q

Fractional Flow Reserve value which demonstrates no ischemia

A

> 0.80

18
Q

This study included 368 patients with intial negative myocardial necrosis biomarkers and a nondynamic ECG underwent CCTA for diagnosis and exclusion of ACS

A

ROMICAT or Rule out Myocardial Infarction Using Computed Assisted Tomography

19
Q

This trial aimed to determine the prognostic utility of CCTA compared to standard of care in 299 patients presenting with acute chest pain and normal ECG and blood biomarkers.

A

CATCH trial or Cardiac CT in the Treatment of Acute Chest Pain Trial

20
Q

This RCT evaluated the use of a CCTA based strategy vs the standard of catr at 7 sites where Hs Trop were for early diagnosis of ACS.

A

BEACON or Better Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain with Computed Tomography Angiography

21
Q

CCTA vs MPI study ~ no difference between groups, in MACE, lower radiation for CCTA and higher px satisfaction for CCTA

A

PROSPECT trial

22
Q

This RCT included 10,003 patients who underwent either CCTA or “functional testing”, which included not only SPECT mPI but also stress echo and stress ecg testing without imaging

A

PROMISE or Prospective Muticenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of Chest Pain

23
Q

This trial examined an endpoint of diagnostic certainty of angina causef by CAD at 6-week endpoint

A

SCOT-HEART trial

24
Q

This RCT examined the safety and efficacy of tiered CT approach where the less costly CAC scan was performed as the initial test, followed by CCTA only uf CAC score was between 1 and 400.

A

CRESCENT

25
Q

The ratio of pressure distal to a coronary stenosis to the pressure proximal to the coronary stenosis at maximum flow conditions.

A

FFR OR FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE

26
Q

Valvular heart disease which can be accurately diagnosed by Cardiac CT

A

Aortic Stenosis

27
Q

CT information for TAVR

A
  1. ) Aortoc annular size and calcifications
  2. ) predictiom of TAVR deployment angles
  3. ) coronary ostial heights
  4. ) aorto-iliac size and atherosclerotic burden
  5. ) procedural evaluation of TAVR devices for evidence of leaflet thickening suggestive of thrombosis
