Cardiac computed tomography-derived coronary artery volume to myocardial mass for the prediction of risk stratification for acute coronary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The study aimed to assess various characteristics of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients presenting with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Additionally, the research sought to investigate the predictive value of the coronary artery volume to myocardial mass (V/M) derived from CCTA in risk stratification for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to determine the relationship between the V/M ratio and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in ACS.

Methods

This was a single-center, retrospective study. The magnitude of V/M was investigated in patients with ACS (n = 168), stable angina pectoris (SAP) (n = 160), and healthy controls (n = 122) among 450 patients with suspected CAD who di
