Prevalence of myocardial bridging detected with 64-slice multidetector coronary computed tomography angiography in asymptomatic adults.

Objective: Myocardial bridging is a congenital condition in which a segment of an epicardial artery has an intramural course within the myocardium. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of myocardial bridging and the ability of 64-slice coronary computed tomography angiography to identify myocardial bridging in asymptomatic adults.

Methods: One hundred sixty-nine consecutive asymptomatic subjects underwent 64-row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) of the coronary arteries.

Prevalence and clinical predictors of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in asymptomatic patients undergoing coronary multidetector computed tomography.

Objective: We examined the prevalence and clinical predictors of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in asymptomatic patients undergoing multidetector computed tomography

Background: In recent years multidetector computed tomography imaging has taken a leading role in the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis, even before its clinical manifestation. We examined the prevalence and clinical predictors of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in asymptomatic patients undergoing multidetector computed tomography of the coronary arteries.

Methods: A total of 244 consecutive asymptomatic patients (190 men and 54 women aged 53.

Prevalence of significant noncardiac findings on coronary multidetector computed tomography angiography in asymptomatic patients.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of significant noncardiac findings in asymptomatic patients undergoing coronary multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography.

Materials And Methods: A total of 258 consecutive participants, 202 (78.3%) men and 56 (21.
