Overview

Simple CTs or CT angiographies are helpful in screening/detecting cardiac abnormalities.

CT scan

• Simple CTs or CT angiographies are helpful in screening/detecting the following cardiac abnormalities:
  1. Coarctation of aorta
  2. Ventricular septal defect
  3. Bicuspid aortic valve
  4. Aortic dissection
  5. Aortal dilation
  6. Aortic aneurysm
  7. Ischemic heart disease
  8. Atherosclerosis
  9. Elongated transverse aortic arch
  10. Pulmonary venous anomalies
  11. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
  12. Infective endocarditis

CT Angiography- Coarctation of Aorta

https://medpix.nlm.nih.gov/case?id=77e22bb5-ab7e-48f0-a755-8cb29b238a31

Labeled and flipped to show:

1. RV - Right Ventricle (trabeculated)
2. Ao - Aorta proximal to coarctation
3. DA - Descending aorta distal to coartation
4. PV - Pulmonary veins
5. Arrowheads - coarctation
6. Arrows - enlarged intercostal arteries that are collaterals to perfuse distal aorta
