| Popis: | Purpose To determine the value of multislice CT coronary artery calcification (CAC) scoring in the prediction of future cardiac events in known chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients using conventional coronary angiography as the standard reference. Patients and methods Fifty-eight patients with CKD on hemodialysis underwent CT CAC scoring using multislice scanner and conventional coronary angiography. Results of CAC scoring were compared to the findings of conventional coronary angiography. Results Mean CAC scoring in patients with significant coronary arteries stenotic lesions was higher than in patients with no significant coronary arteries stenotic lesions with significant difference ( P Mean patient CAC scoring was strongly correlated with the number of coronary arteries with significant stenotic lesions ( r = 0.910). Conclusion CT CAC scoring is a non-invasive technique which can be used in the evaluation and follow up of CKD patients’ coronary arteries without the use of contrast medium reducing the number of invasive coronary angiography needed. |
