Resumo

century, coronary thrombosis has been a known cause of death. In the 20 th century, this knowledge led to revolutionary treatment and prevention methods for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 1 . The selective cineangiocardiography was introduced in 1958, and up to a few years ago was the only test available for coronary anatomical studies, in conjunction with autopsies. The non-invasive tests available were focused on analysis of the coronary function using physical or pharmacologic stress in an attempt to induce myocardial ischemia in order to detect it 2 . The advent of multidetector CTs, work stations with high processing capacity and the acquisition of images with isotropic resolution, made it possible to perform non-invasive coronary anatomical studies in vivo that are accurate and reproducible 3
