A STUDY ON EVALUATION OF CORONARY ARTERY VARIATIONS USING 64-SLICE MDCT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN MAHARASHTRA

Abstract

Introduction- Coronary artery anomalies (CAA) are the genetic abnormalities which are 
generally asymptomatic. However, these anomalies can cause chest pain, syncope, arrhythmias, 
MI (myocardial infarction) or unexpected death. Multidetector row-computed tomography 
(MDCT) has been introduced as the best modality for coronary imaging. In the current study, we 
tried to evaluate the CAV including anomalies using 64-Slice MDCT coronary angiography in 
selected population.
