Coronary computed tomography angiography for assessing the coronary artery and predicting adverse cardiovascular events in patients with thoracic malignancies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is unclear whether the parameters derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can identify the impairments of coronary arteries and if they are associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with thoracic malignancies receiving chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal changes in coronary arteries using CCTA and to determine their association with MACEs in patients with thoracic malignancies receiving chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included consecutive patients with thoracic malignancies who received chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and who underwent CCTA between June 2013 and May 2019 at Chongqing University Cancer Hospital. The pericoron
