Table 1 Percentage of accessible segments according to the stratification of the coronary artery tree

From: Ultrafast imaging of the entire chest without ECG synchronisation or beta-blockade: to what extent can we analyse the coronary arteries?

 

All patients (n = 242)

Group 1 (n = 116)

Group 2 (n = 126)

P value (*)

Proximal segments (i.e. 4 segments)

849/968 (88%)

399/464 (86%)

450/504 (89%)

0.12

Proximal and mid segments (i.e. 7 segments)

1,263/1,694 (75%)

595/812 (73%)

668/882 (76%)

0.24

10 segments

1,485/2,420 (61%)

713/1,160 (61.5%)

772/1,260 (61%)

0.92

Complete coronary tree (i.e. 15 segments)

1,758/3,630 (48%)

863/1,740 (49.6%)

895/1,890 (47%)
