title: [Potentialities of non-invasive diagnosis of coronary artery anomalies by electron-beam tomography and multislice computed tomography].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess diagnostic value of electron-beam computed tomography and multislice computed tomography (EBT and MSCT) for diagnosis of congenital anomalies of coronary arteries (CA).
  
  
  METHODS
  Non-invasive coronary angiography with EBT and MSCT has been performed in 1162 patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Different anomalies of coronary arteries have been found in 10 (0.9%) patients. Results of EBT and MSCT agreed with those of coronary angiography performed in 8 cases with CA anomalies. Though 720 of 1162 patients had coronary stenoses, no significant atherosclerotic lesions were found in anomalous CA.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  EBT and MSCT enable non-invasive screening and diagnosis of coronary arteries anomalies.
