Fig. 1D 63-year-old man presenting to emergency department with 10
minutes of exercise-induced substernal chest pain radiating to his left arm
2.5 hours ago. Initial troponin and creatine kinase, myocardial bound tests
were negative, and ECG showed T-wave inversions in V1 to V3; otherwise
unremarkable ECG. 64-MDCT was performed 3 hours after emergency department
presentation. RCA = right coronary artery, LAD = left anterior descending
artery, LCX = left circumflex coronary artery, PDA = posterior descending
artery. Magnified view of distal RCA segment seen in C shows
significant luminal narrowing (> 50%) compared with proximal and distal
reference (dashed arrows), approximately 2 cm proximal to bifurcation
of PDA and posterior left ventricular branch. In this area, large excentric
noncalcified plaque (arrowhead) causing stenosis is seen
(arrow).
