Images in a 63-year-old man with treated hypertension and hyperlipidemia presenting with diffuse chest pain and shortness of breath. Conventional angiography findings 2 years earlier had been normal. (a) ECG-gated CT angiogram displayed with curved planar reformation demonstrates extensive noncalcified plaque in the mid–left anterior descending coronary artery, causing severe stenosis (arrow). (b) Color-encoded mapping of regional myocardial wall motion obtained from 10 reconstructions across the cardiac cycle establishes the functional consequences of the coronary lesion with hypokinesis (purple) in the anterior and apical left ventricle (arrow). (c) The coronary lesion (arrow) was confirmed on a subsequent conventional angiogram.
