Study shows pericardial fat is linked to calcified plaque

Thursday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSQ01-09 | Room S502ABPatients with higher levels of pericardial fat are also more likely to have more coronary artery calcium and, hence, greater risk of cardiac events, say researchers from the University of California, San Francisco.

Cardiac CTA incorporates function, motion analysis

Wednesday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSM03-05 | Room S502ABA 64-detector-row scanner can deliver anatomic as well as functional information if you follow the lead of Johns Hopkins University researchers, who used the same data for CT angiography (CTA) and cardiac function, motion analysis, and myocardial perfusion information.

ROMICAT II shows CCTA cuts hospital time

Wednesday, November 28 | 8:30 a.m.-8:45 a.m. | VSCA41-01 | Room S502ABThe early use of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes shortens the length of hospital stay and reduces time to diagnosis, according to researchers from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
