Whole heart coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has been established as a totally noninvasive diagnostic modality for the assessment of coronary artery disease. We report a case with unstable angina, in whom coronary artery stenosis with an atherosclerotic plaque was detected by whole heart coronary MRA. Intravascular ultrasound in the stenotic lesion revealed a soft plaque containing focal calcification, corresponding to a low-signal mass containing a no-signal mass on MRA. Whole heart coronary MRA can become a useful diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.
全心冠状动脉磁共振血管造影(MRA)已成为一种完全无创的诊断方法,用于评估冠状动脉疾病。我们报告一例不稳定型心绞痛患者,通过全心冠状动脉MRA检测到冠状动脉狭窄并伴有动脉粥样硬化斑块。狭窄病变处的血管内超声显示一个含有局灶性钙化的软斑块,这与MRA上一个包含无信号区域的低信号团块相对应。全心冠状动脉MRA可成为诊断急性冠状动脉综合征的有用诊断工具。
