Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic distensibility and its relationship to coronary and thoracic atherosclerosis plaque and morphology by MDCT: insights from the ROMICAT Trial.
Emily Siegel,Wai-ee Thai,Tust Techasith,Gyöngyi Petra Major,Jackie Szymonifka,Ahmed Tawakol,John T. Nagurney,Udo Hoffmann,Quynh A. Truong +8 more
TL;DR: A stiffer, less distensible aorta is associated with coronary and thoracic Atherosclerosis, particularly in the presence of calcified and mixed plaques, suggesting that the mechanism of atherosclerosis in small and large vessels is similar and influenced by advancing age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incremental prognostic value of kidney function decline over coronary artery disease for cardiovascular event prediction after coronary computed tomography
Márcio Sommer Bittencourt,Márcio Sommer Bittencourt,Edward Hulten,Edward Hulten,Brian B. Ghoshhajra,Suhny Abbara,Venkatesh L. Murthy,Sanjay Divakaran,Khurram Nasir,Luis Henrique W. Gowdak,Leonardo V. Riella,Marco Chiumiento,Udo Hoffmann,Marcelo F. Di Carli,Ron Blankstein +14 more
TL;DR: Among individuals referred for CCTA to evaluate CAD, renal dysfunction is associated with an increased rate of CV events, mainly driven by an increase in the rate of noncoronary CV events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical results of minimally invasive coronary angiography using computed tomography.
Stephan Achenbach,Dieter Ropers,Karsten Pohle,Katharina Anders,Ulrich Baum,Udo Hoffmann,Fabian Moselewski,Maros Ferencik,Thomas J. Brady +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-invasive coronary angiography by EBCT and MDCT is proposed to exclude the presence of coronary artery stenoses in a noninvasive fashion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of heart rhythm on patient radiation dose with dual-source cardiac computed tomography
Tust Techasith,Brian B. Ghoshhajra,Quynh A. Truong,Rodrigo Pale,Khurram Nasir,Michael A. Bolen,Udo Hoffmann,Ricardo C. Cury,Suhny Abbara,Thomas J. Brady,Ron Blankstein,Ron Blankstein +11 more
TL;DR: Compared to patients with NSR, patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter had the highest radiation exposure, followed by those with PAC/PVC, and these findings can be used to identify patients who are more likely to receive higher radiation dose when undergoing cardiac CT and to develop future more-efficient scanner algorithms for use in patients with arrhythmias.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatic steatosis is associated with lower levels of physical activity measured via accelerometry.
Michelle T. Long,Alison Pedley,Joseph M. Massaro,Udo Hoffmann,Dale W. Esliger,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Caroline S. Fox,Joanne M. Murabito +7 more
TL;DR: This work examined the association between objectively measured PA and hepatic steatosis defined by computed tomography (CT) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
