Journal ArticleDOI
Individual coronary plaque changes on serial CT angiography: Within-patient heterogeneity, natural history, and statin effects in HIV.
TL;DR: In persons with HIV, a population with increased atherosclerosis burden and cardiovascular risk, individual coronary plaque changes vary within a given individual, and statins act in part by stabilizing progressing plaques by reducing fatty and fibrotic plaque components, without influencing the calcified portion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary Artery Manifestation of Ormond Disease: The “Mistletoe Sign”
Pál Maurovich-Horvat,Ferenc Imre Suhai,Csilla Czimbalmos,Attila Tóth,Dávid Becker,Emese Kiss,Maros Ferencik,Maros Ferencik,Udo Hoffmann,Hajnalka Vágó,Béla Merkely +10 more
TL;DR: The presence of the mistletoe sign on cardiac MR and coronary CT angiographic images is probably rare, but it might be a characteristic manifestation of retroperitoneal fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defining the optimal systolic phase targets using absolute delay time for reconstructions in dual-source coronary CT angiography.
Csilla Celeng,Csilla Celeng,Harshna V. Vadvala,Stefan Puchner,Amit Pursnani,Umesh C. Sharma,Attila Kovács,Pâl Maurovich-Horvat,Udo Hoffmann,Brian B. Ghoshhajra +9 more
TL;DR: During an absolute delay of 200–420 ms after the R-wave, the ideal reconstruction interval varies significantly among coronary artery segments, so a narrow range of systolic intervals, rather than a single phase, should be acquired.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Iterative Reconstruction Technique on Image Quality in Cardiac CT Angiography: Initial Experience
Leif-Christopher Engel,Patric Kröpil,Manavjot S. Sidhu,Tust Techasith,Pál Maurovich-Horvat,Suhny Abbara,Udo Hoffmann,Brian B. Ghoshhajra +7 more
TL;DR: The experience suggests that iterative reconstruction algorithms have the potential to reduce radiation doses while maintaining similar objective image quality measures such as CNR and noise levels versus standard FBP reconstructions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence to Ideal Cardiovascular Health Metrics Is Associated With Reduced Odds of Hepatic Steatosis.
Leah R. DeCoste,Na Wang,Joseph Palmisano,Jean Mendez,Udo Hoffmann,Emelia J. Benjamin,Michelle T. Long +6 more
TL;DR: Adhering to the AHA Life’s Simple 7 metrics was associated with reduced odds of prevalent NAFLD, particularly for those at high genetic risk.
