Objective The aim of this study was to investigate radiation dose and image quality of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA) for patients with high heart rate variability (HRv) using 16-cm wide-detector CT scanner. Methods One hundred sixty-six patients with uncontrolled heart rate underwent CCTA on a 16-cm wide-detector CT system and were divided into 2 groups based on their HRv for analysis: group A (n = 95, HRv ≤10 beats/min [bpm]) and group B (n = 71, HRv >10 bpm). Images in both groups were reconstructed with motion correction algorithm. Subjective and objective image qualities were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, and heart rate (68.1 ± 11.4 vs 67.6 ± 12.3 bpm) between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). However, group B had significantly higher HRv than group A (33.5 ± 24.4 vs 7.8 ± 1.2 bpm, P < 0.001). All images were acceptable for clinical diagnosis. Compared with group A, image quality scores in group B decreased slightly (4.1 ± 0.5 vs 4.0 ± 0.6). However, the difference was not statistically significant. The mean effective doses were both relatively low at 2.2 ± 1.1 mSv in group A and 2.6 ± 1.4 mSv in group B. Conclusions Single-heartbeat free-breathing CCTA can be performed for patients with high HRv using 16-cm wide-detector CT scanner to achieve diagnostic image quality with low radiation dose.
