This study examined the application of 64-slice spiral double-low computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the degree of coronary artery stenosis. We examined 45 patients with coronary heart disease by 64-slice spiral double-low CT and coronary angiography (CAG) to determine CT accuracy in evaluating coronary artery stenosis. Imaging analysis from 64-slice spiral double-low CT identified 199 segments with coronary stenosis from 45 patients, including 46 segments with mild stenosis, 38 with moderate stenosis and 115 with severe stenosis or artery occlusion. CT analysis agreed with CAG on the identification of the degree of stenosis in 122 segments, with an overall accuracy of 61.3%. The accuracy for serious stenosis or occlusion was the highest at 69.6%. We also found a strong correlation between coronary plaque compositions and the degree of stenosis. Correspondence analysis showed that the presence of soft plaques closely correlated with severe stenosis, whereas mixed plaques closely correlated with moderate stenosis. Overall, 64-slice spiral double-low CT imaging can effectively assess the degree of coronary artery stenosis in patients with coronary heart disease and accurately detect plaque composition. Thus, 64-slice spiral double-low CT imaging can predict the risk of coronary heart disease and the degree of coronary artery stenosis, which is helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease.
