Punctate dense shadows in the coronary arteries are often indicative of coronary calcification.
Punctate dense shadow of coronary artery is a kind of professional description of coronary CT. Punctate dense shadow is mostly calcification foci, suggesting that there is calcification of coronary artery, and there may be atherosclerotic plaque formation of coronary artery, and patients with similar situation may have coronary artery disease.
Coronary CT can be used clinically to assess the presence or absence of significant stenosis in the coronary arteries, and is one of the commonly used auxiliary examinations for coronary artery disease. If coronary CT has point-like dense shadows, it is recommended to actively screen blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease-related risk factors, and actively carry out prevention and treatment, and take antihypertensive, antihyperglycemic, and lipid-lowering drugs under the guidance of a doctor if necessary.
In addition, if the patient is accompanied by episodes of chest tightness, chest pain and other symptoms, it is recommended to further improve the coronary angiography to clarify the situation of blood vessel stenosis.
When the above situation occurs, it is recommended to actively seek medical treatment and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
