简要总结
The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a new X-ray technique called CT angiography to identify significant narrowing of the coronary arteries compared to traditional coronary angiogram.
详细描述
Objective:
In patients with newly diagnosed cardiomyopathy it is the standard of care to perform coronary angiography. This procedure can separate ischemic from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and identifies patients who may be eligible for revascularization as a therapeutic modality. With the advent of multidectector row-computed tomography technology, it is becoming possible to non-invasively identify significant atherosclerotic stenoses with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. The goal of this study is to compare non-invasive computed tomography (CT) angiography with traditional coronary angiography to identify proximal, and hence revascularizable, coronary artery disease in patients with cardiomyopathy. Revascularizable is defined a 3 vessel proximal disease, left main disease, or left main equivalent disease (ostial left anterior descending and ostial left circumflex).
Research Design:
This study is prospective, interventional, single site with the interpreting radiologists blinded to the results from previous angiography.
