Özet

Objective: Noninvasive diagnostic methods do not supply sufficient data for patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) accompanied with coronary artery diseases (CAD). Therefore, generally coronary angiography is required for these patients. Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic value of multislice spiral computed tomographic (MSCT) coronary angiography to detect CAD in patients with LBBB.
