Abstract

Coronary calcification is a strong predictor of significant coronary stenosis in symptomatic patients. While discrete calcification within coronary arteries is only detected by sensitive methods such as computed tomography, severe calcification can already be seen on the plain chest radiograph. In this article, we describe a patient with a high grade left main stem coronary artery stenosis who presented with a severe focal calcification on the plain chest radiograph in projection of the offspring of the left coronary artery.

在常规胸片上可见左主干冠状动脉狭窄严重钙化。
冠状动脉钙化是有症状患者显著冠状动脉狭窄的一个强有力的预测因素。虽然冠状动脉内的离散钙化只能通过计算机断层扫描等敏感方法检测到,但在胸片平片上已经可以看到严重的钙化。在这篇文章中,我们描述了一个高度左主干冠状动脉狭窄的患者,他在左冠状动脉后代投影的胸片上表现为严重的局灶性钙化。
