What is a normal LAD score?
Results: The mean CAC score in the LAD coronary artery was 160 ± 218 in patients with no or mild ischemia and 336 ± 379 in patients with moderate or severe ischemia (P = 0.039).
What are the grooves in the coronary arteries called?
The coronary sulcus (also called coronary groove, auriculoventricular groove, atrioventricular groove, AV groove) is a groove on the surface of the heart that separates the atria from the ventricles.
What are the three regions of the interventricular septum?
The right aspect of the muscular ventricular septum can be designated as having 3 components corresponding to the three portions of the ventricle: inlet, apical trabecular, and outlet.
What does a calcium score of 1400 mean?
A calcium score of 1-10 means minimal plaque. A calcium score of 11-100 means mild plaque. A calcium score of 101-400 means moderate plaque. A calcium score of >400 means severe plaque.
What is the interventricular groove?
The interventricular sulcus is a superficial groove or depression between the ventricles. It is of importance because this is where some of the large coronary arteries and veins run. Those vessels carry blood to and from the walls of the heart.
What is anterior interventricular groove?
The anterior interventricular sulcus (or anterior longitudinal sulcus) is one of two grooves that separates the ventricles of the heart, the other being the posterior interventricular sulcus. The anterior interventricular sulcus is situated on the sternocostal surface of the heart, close to its left margin.
Can an ECG detect a blocked artery?
Can an electrocardiogram detect blocked arteries? No, an electrocardiogram cannot detect blocked arteries. Blocked arteries are usually diagnosed with a nuclear stress test, cardiac pet scan, coronary CT angiogram or traditional coronary angiogram.
What forms interventricular septum?
The muscular part of the interventricular septum derives from the bulboventricular flange which is developed due to differential growth of primitive ventricle and bulbous cordis. It also gets attached to lower border of spiral septum or the aortico pulmonary septum.
Can I reduce my calcium score?
If your calcium score is high, medication and procedures that remove plaque from the heart can lower the score.
What does septo ventricular mean?
Esta pared también se llama septo ventricular. ¿Qué es la comunicación interventricular? La comunicación interventricular es un defecto que se produce durante el embarazo si la pared que se forma entre los dos ventrículos no se desarrolla completamente y queda un orificio en ella.
What is Civ (septal interventricular)?
La comunicación interventricular (también llamada defecto septal interventricular) o CIV es un defecto de nacimiento en el corazón, en el cual hay un orificio en la pared (septo o tabique) que separa las dos cavidades (ventrículos) inferiores del corazón. Esta pared también se llama septo ventricular.
What are ventricular septal defects?
Ventricular septal defects. Pared medial del ventrículo izquierdo. Esta es la pared que bordea el tabique entre el ventrículo derecho e izquierdo. Contribuye durante la eyección del ventrículo izquierdo. Defectos del septo interventricular.
What is the pared medial to the septum?
This is the wall that borders septum between the left and right ventricle. Contributes to the pumping function of the left ventricle. Ventricular septal defects. Pared medial del ventrículo izquierdo. Esta es la pared que bordea el tabique entre el ventrículo derecho e izquierdo.
