Diagnostic Accuracy of 64-Slice MDCT Coronary Angiography for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

TLDR
The 64-slice MDCT coronary angiography was found to have similar diagnostic accuracy with ICA, regardless of diabetes, and this results suggest MDCT may be helpful to reduce unnecessary invasive studies for patients with diabetes.
Abstract
Background A 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is well known to be a useful noninvasive form of angiography for the general population, but not for certain patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy and usefulness of 64-slice MDCT coronary angiography for detecting coronary artery disease in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

2013 ACC/AHA Cholesterol Guideline Versus 2004 NCEP ATP III Guideline in the Prediction of Coronary Artery Calcification Progression in a Korean Population

TL;DR: Compared with the ATP III guidelines, the new ACC/AHA guidelines result in better discrimination of subjects with cardiovascular risk detected by CAC score progression in an Asian population.

Triglyceride Glucose-Waist Circumference Better Predicts Coronary Calcium Progression Compared with Other Indices of Insulin Resistance: A Longitudinal Observational Study

TL;DR: The TyG-WC index predicted CAC progression better than other indices and could be a potential marker of future coronary atherosclerosis and the predictability of Tyg-WC for Cac progression was better than the other indices in terms of the area under the curve.

Association between serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and the progression of coronary artery calcification

TL;DR: Elevated serum GGT levels are independently associated with CAC progression and may be a potential biomarker of future coronary atherosclerosis and prognosis.

The impact of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome on the progression of coronary artery calcification

TL;DR: NAFLD is an independent risk factor for CAC progression, irrespective of the presence of MetS, and the subjects with NAFLD(+)/MetS(+) and NAFLS(+) had a significantly higher risk of Cac progression than those with NAFlD(−)/ metS(−) (multivariate-adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.76; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1

Imaging quality evaluation of low tube voltage coronary CT angiography using low concentration contrast medium

TL;DR: Low tube voltage coronary CT angiography using low concentration contrast medium does not affect the imaging quality for assessing the coronary arteries compared with high voltage coronaryCT angiographic using high concentration contrastmedium.

Diagnostic Performance of Coronary Angiography by 64-Row CT

TL;DR: Multidetector CT angiography accurately identifies the presence and severity of obstructive coronary artery disease and subsequent revascularization in symptomatic patients, and the negative and positive predictive values indicate that multidetctor CTAngiography cannot replace conventional coronary angiographic at present.
