MDCT detection of anomalous origins of the left main coronary artery: report of 2 cases.

Abstract:

:The left main coronary artery (LMCA) arising either from the right sinus of Valsalva, separately from the right coronary artery (RCA), or from the RCA as a single coronary artery is an extremely rare coronary artery anomaly. We report 2 cases of anomalous origins of the LMCA detected by multidetector-row computed tomography.

  • Microvolt T-wave alternans: a review of techniques, interpretation, utility, clinical studies, and future perspectives.

    abstract::Microvolt T-wave alternans (TWA) testing involves measuring variation in the morphology of the T-wave on an every other beat basis. The magnitude of the variation observed is typically on the order of a few microvolts. Thus in order to detect microvolt TWA, specialized recording and signal processing methods must be e...
