Can CT angiography help in assessing cardiac vessels?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My wife’s transthoracic echo Doppler report interpretation is as follows: no regional wall motion abnormality (LVEF 60 percent), normal cardiac chamber dimensions, trace MR, trace TR, normal PASP, normal IVC diameter, no LV clot, no vegetation, and no pericardial effusion. Are these findings normal, or is there anything to be concerned about?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This echo is normal; however, considering her diabetes and dyslipidemia, it is advisable to subject her to further testing, such as a treadmill test or CT (computed tomography) coronary angiography, to assess the status of the cardiac vessels. Patients with these risk factors often have blockages in the arteries, so further evaluation is recommended.

I hope this helps, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you.
