Abstract
We present the retrospective review of incidental intracardiac findings in coronary CTA performed at Clínica Alemana Santiago between november2003 until august 2006. Cardiac CT is frequently used in clinical practice for evaluation coronary arteries, but can be useful for evaluation of other cardiac structures. In these structures we can find associated pathology as auricular and ventricular aneurysms, damage of heart infarcts, among others. We describe our study protocol and review principal findings. © 2007 Sociedad Chilena de Radiología.
