Improved Coronary Risk Assessment With Electron Beam Computed Tomography in an Asymptomatic Female With Familial Hypercholesterolemia Stefan Möhlenkamp, MD, Jai-Wun Park, MD, Dietrich Grönemeyer, MD, Robert S.

Figure 1 Electron beam computed tomographic images (parts 1–8) showing parallel slices beginning at the level of the proximal right descending coronary artery (A in parts 3 and 7), left anterior descending artery (LAD) (B in part 4), and left circumflex artery (LCX) (C in part 4). The lesions are located in the proximal LAD and LCX and correspond to the angiographie lesion sites (closed arrows in parts 1, 5, and 6). Note the calcifications in the ascending aorta (open arrows in parts 1, 2, and 4). Ao = aorta; LV = left ventricle; LVOT = left ventricular outflow tract; RV = right ventricle; RVOT = right ventricular outflow tract.

Figure 2 Coronary angiogram showing advanced lesions of the left circumflex artery (LCX) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Quantitative coronary angiography revealed diameter and area stenoses of 64% and 87% (arrow), respectively, for the LCX and 43% and 64%, respectively, for the LAD.
