We studied 21 patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (group 1) and 22 patients with unstable angina (group 2).
The sensitivity,
specifity,
negative and positive predictive values of the myocardial hypoenhencement by MDCT,
regional wall motion (RWM) abnormalities by echocardiography (ECHO) and occlusion of symptom-related artery (SRA) by MDCT in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction are shown in the table 1.

Fig. 2: Cardiac multidetector computed tomography with contrast enhancement. Myocardial perfusion defect in patient with unstable angina. Long axis 4 chamber plane of the left ventricle. The arrow indicates the subendocardial perfusion defect in apical and mid segments of the interventricular septum.
Fig. 3: Cardiac multidetector computed tomography with contrast enhancement. The same patient with unstable angina as on fig. 2 after successful percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting. Long axis 4 chamber plane of the left ventricle showed no perfusion defects.
