Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography: a prospective, multicenter, multivendor study.
W. Bob Meijboom,Matthijs F.L. Meijs,Joanne D. Schuijf,Maarten J Cramer,Nico R. Mollet,Carlos Van Mieghem,Koen Nieman,Jacob M. van Werkhoven,Jacob M. van Werkhoven,Gabija Pundziute,Gabija Pundziute,Annick C. Weustink,Alexander M. de Vos,Francesca Pugliese,Benno J. Rensing,J. Wouter Jukema,Jeroen J. Bax,Mathias Prokop,Pieter A. Doevendans,M. G. Myriam Hunink,Gabriel P. Krestin,Pim J. de Feyter +21 more
TL;DR: Among patients in whom a decision had already been made to obtain CCA, 64-slice CTCA was reliable for ruling out significant CAD in patients with stable and unstable anginal syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of epicardial and pericoronary fat to coronary atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcium in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
Petra M. Gorter,Alexander M. de Vos,Yolanda van der Graaf,Pieter R. Stella,Pieter A. Doevendans,Matthijs F.L. Meijs,Mathias Prokop,Frank L.J. Visseren +7 more
TL;DR: Fat surrounding coronary arteries may be involved in the process of coronary atherosclerosis, although this is different for patients with low and high BMIs, however, in those with low BMI, increased EAT and pericoronary fat were related to more severe coronary Atherosclerosis and CAC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of epicardial and peri-coronary fat using cardiac computed tomography; reproducibility and relation with obesity and metabolic syndrome in patients suspected of coronary artery disease.
Petra M. Gorter,Petra M. Gorter,Anne S.R. van Lindert,Alexander M. de Vos,Matthijs F.L. Meijs,Yolanda van der Graaf,Pieter A. Doevendans,Mathias Prokop,Frank L.J. Visseren +8 more
TL;DR: Volumetric quantification of EAT using cardiac CT is highly reproducible compared to more simple measurements as EAT and peri-coronary fat thickness and area, and the quantity of E AT and pero-corOnary fat is related with the presence of obesity and metabolic syndrome in patients suspected of CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue is related to cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery calcification in post-menopausal women
Alexander M. de Vos,Mathias Prokop,Cornelis J. Roos,Matthijs F.L. Meijs,Yvonne T. van der Schouw,Annemarieke Rutten,Petra M. Gorter,Maarten-Jan M. Cramer,Pieter A. Doevendans,Benno J. Rensing,Marie-Louise Bartelink,B. K. Velthuis,A. Mosterd,Michiel L. Bots +13 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue affects coronary atherosclerosis and possibly coronary risk is supported, and EAT is strongly related to vascular risk factors and coronary calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic root dimension changes during systole and diastole: evaluation with ECG-gated multidetector row computed tomography
Linda M. de Heer,Ricardo P. J. Budde,Willem P.Th.M. Mali,Alexander M. de Vos,Lex A. van Herwerden,Jolanda Kluin +5 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated a significant individual dynamic change in the dimensions of the aortic root, independent of gender, age, height and weight, which is highly unpredictable.
