Abstract

The purpose of our study was analysis of myocardial hypoenhancement areas (MHAs) found by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and comparison of these findings with results of standard methods of diagnostics of myocardial infarction and ischemia [electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography (ECHO)].

Methods: MHAs were found in 18 of 21 patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (85.7%) and only in 3 of 22 patients with unstable angina (UA) (13.6%, p.

Keywords: acute coronary syndrome; echocardiography.; multidetector computed tomography (MDCT); myocardial hypoenhancement areas; myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; myocardial perfusion defect; unstable angina; wall motion abnormalities.
