Abstract

Assessment of myocardial ischemia in patients with stable angina is important in deciding whether to treat coronary artery disease and in predicting clinical outcome. The fractional flow reserve is a standard reference for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia, but this procedure has limitations because of its invasiveness. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is now an established tool in the anatomic diagnosis of coronary artery disease; however, there are limits to the diagnosis of hemodynamically important stenosis that causes myocardial ischemia. In order to address this problem, studies using quantification of coronary atherosclerotic plaques, myocardial perfusion, and noninvasive calculation of fractional flow reserve based on CCTA have been actively conducted and recognized for their diagnostic value. In this review, several imaging techniques of CCTA used to assess myocardial ischemia are described.

안정형 협심증 환자에서 관상동맥질환의 치료 여부를 결정하고 임상 결과를 예측하기 위해서는 심근허혈의 평가가 중요하다. 현재 심근허혈 진단의 표준검사법으로 분획혈류예비력 검사법이 인정되나 침습적 검사라는 제한점이 있다. 또한, 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영은 형태적인 관상동맥질환 진단에 유용한 방법으로 정립되었지만, 혈역학적으로 유의한 협착에 의한 심근허혈 진단에는 한계가 있다. 최근 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 영상을 기반으로 측정한 관상동맥 죽상경화판의 정량화, 심근관류, 그리고 심근 분획혈류 예비력을 이용한 연구들이 진행되어 왔고, 그 진단적 가치를 점차 인정받고 있다. 본 종설에서는 심근허혈진단과 관련된 관상동맥 전산화단층촬영 혈관조영술의 여러 영상기법들에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.
