Abstract
Conventional coronary angiography has been considered the gold standard method for diagnosis coronary lesions. However, coronary angiography is unlikely to be accepted in the absence of significant lesions and risk of complications due to its invasive features. Therefore, an alternative non-invasive procedure for detection of CAD is necessary. Coronary CT angiography is unique in its ability to non- invasively visualize CAD and to accurately detect significant stenosis. Under certain prerequisites, which include a low and regular heart rate, a carefully performed coronary CT angiography investigation allows for the accurate detection of coronary artery stenoses. Especially, the negative predictive value has uniformly been found to be high, indicating that the technique may be most suitable as a non-invasive tool to rule out the presence of obstructive coronary lesions. The aim of this study is to determine the usefulness of CCTA in Females with acute chest pain. (To Rule Out Myocardial Infarction using Computer Assisted Tomography). We enrolled 50 female patients in this study with age ranged from 35 to 70 years with a mean of 51.14 ± 9.72. All included patients in this study were evaluated by: history taking, clinical examination, 320-row multi-detector CT coronary angiography at Tanta university hospital. In our study, we found that in this study we cleared that according to CCTA (lesion segments), Proximal (OSTEAL) lesions were seen in LAD
