256-slice CT angiographic evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafts: effect of heart rate, heart rate variability and Z-axis location on image quality.

256-slice CT angiographic evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafts: effect of heart rate, heart rate variability and Z-axis location on image quality.

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of heart rate, heart rate variability and z-axis location on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) image quality using a 256-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner.A total of 78 patients with 254 CABG (762 graft segments) were recruited to undergo CA...
