Abstract
This study was designed to characterize the cardiac diseases using MSCT, To determine the diagnostic value of MSCT in the cardiac diseases. 52 consecutive patients attending at Khartoum state Hospitals- Sudan their weight ranged 38-100 kg, during the period from 2016 to 2017, all Subjects underwent multi slices CT study for coronary artery angiography and calcium scoring test, measurements were represented by mean and standard deviation, using the SPSS windows version 16 and excel. Results of this study revealed that most of the cases had coronary stenosis (21.2%) followed by Atherosclerosis13.5% and 2% had stenosis and rupture, most of the affected cases were males, their ages above 46 years and their weight above 60 kg. It concluded that 64-128 slice CT allows a non-invasive assessment of significant CAD with a high diagnostic and well characterized, strongly significant relationship were observed between final diagnosis and age P value (0.001), however there is no significant difference between the final diagnosis and gender of patients P value (0.488), moreover there is significant correlations between the final diagnosis and weight P value (0.001)
