Intra-Atrial Right Coronary Artery: A Condition Revealed by Coronary CT Scan.
Echocardiography
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Coronary artery anomalies are uncommon conditions affecting the origin, pathway, or ending of the coronary arteries, with most being harmless, but some posing serious risks like heart damage or sudden death.
- - Advances in imaging technology, particularly coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), have improved the diagnosis of these anomalies, revealing previously rare cases.
- - The text specifically discusses the intra-atrial course of the right coronary artery as a rare congenital anomaly that has gained attention through recent imaging developments.
Article Synopsis
- Myocardial bridging (MB) is a congenital issue where a part of a coronary artery, usually the left anterior descending artery, runs through the heart muscle instead of along the surface.
- Advances in cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) have improved the detection of MB, thanks to its advanced imaging capabilities.
- Although MB is often seen as harmless, new research suggests that specific traits of MB could be linked to heart-related health problems, highlighting the need for proper diagnosis and prognosis through CCTA.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of radiologists using a new software called "COVID-19 score" when performing chest radiography on patients potentially infected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Chest radiography (or chest X-ray, CXR) and CT are important for the imaging diagnosis of the coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19). CXR mobile devices are efficient during epidemies, because allow to reduce the risk of contagion and are easy to sanitize.
