Association of @entity730 severity with the extent of XXXX assessed by @entity460 -scoring dual-source computed tomography.

@entity730 @entity1 @entity729 @entity460
PURPOSE: To investigate the association between @entity730 ( @entity730 ) and @entity729 ( @entity729 ) assessed by coronary artery @entity460 -scoring dual-source computed tomography (DSCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 143 consecutive @entity1 who underwent coronary artery @entity460 -scoring during coronary DSCT angiography. 57 @entity1 had findings of @entity730 on @entity460 -scoring scans. @entity730 volume (ARCV) and Agatston coronary artery @entity460 score (CACS) were calculated. Chi-square test was used to assess differences of categorical variables between @entity1 with and without @entity730 . Statistical significances between both groups were assessed with the independent-Sample t test. RESULTS: Compared with @entity1 without @entity730 (n=86), @entity1 with @entity730 (n=57) showed a significantly higher presence of @entity729 (87.7% vs. 24.4%; P<0.001), and a higher mean CACS (700.6  941.2 vs. 256.4  724.3; P=0.009) in @entity1 with @entity729 . @entity1 with a calculated ARCV >40mm(3) (n=32) showed significantly higher rates of severe @entity729 (56.3% vs. 24.0%; P=0.014) compared with @entity1 with an ARCV<40mm(3) (n=25). Compared with @entity1 without @entity729 (n=42), @entity1 with @entity729 (n=101) showed a significantly higher presence of @entity730 (83.3% vs. 50.5%; P<0.001) and a higher mean ARCV (95.4  116.2mm(3) vs. 29.7  33.0 mm(3); P=0.003). Severe @entity729 (n=24) correlated with an increased mean ARCV (122.3  148.8mm(3)) compared to @entity1 with minimal to moderate @entity729 (n=33, mean ARCV: 61.9  64.8mm(3); P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The extent of @entity730 is directly associated with the presence and degree of @entity729 on @entity460 -scoring scans during coronary DSCT angiography.
