Accurate assessment of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion is essential to design an appropriate procedural strategy before revascularization. The present study aims to evaluate the significance of a single multislice computed tomography (MSCT) examination in patients with CTO lesion. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 23 CTO lesions in twenty patients underwent computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and SPECT. The CTCA was more powerful and sensitive to determine the CTO lesion length (100% v.s 47.8%) and to identify the length and location of calcification in occluded vessels compared with the coronary angiography (CAG). The LVEF measured by MSCT was comparable to that from the gated SPECT. Myocardial perfusion imaging showed that the location of the early defect region identified by MSCT was corresponded to the nuclide filling defect on the stressed 201thallium-SPECT imaging. The late hyperenhancement on MSCT was presented as incomplete nuclide filling on the 99mTc-MIBI imaging. The results suggested that a single MSCT examination in previous myocardial infarction without revascularization facilitates to provide some valuable information on the nature of the occluded lesion, myocardial perfusion and globe cardiac function, which would be helpful to design appropriate revascularization strategy in these subjects. 

Clinical significance of a single multi-slice CT assessment in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion lesions prior to revascularization.

In patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), the relative contribution of culprit versus non-culprit lesions to subsequent major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unknown. Elucidating this relationship will shed light on the contributions of OSA to the advancement of coronary artery disease.

Culprit versus non-culprit lesion related adverse cardiac events in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) via biventricular pacing has demonstrated clinical benefits in patients with heart failure (HF) and ventricular dyssynchrony. Other approaches of CRT is little known.
