Coronary computed tomography angiography

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2011
Significant limitations exist for traditional noninvasive cardiac imaging with regard to equivocal or indeterminate findings that result in repetitive testing or unnecessary referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Recent hardware and software advances in multislice computed tomography angiography have achieved high spatial and temporal ...

Preventative Imaging with Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Current Cardiology Reports, 2023
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is the diagnostic modality of choice for patients with stable chest pain. In this review, we scrutinize the evidence on the use of CCTA for the screening of asymptomatic patients.Clinical evidence suggests that CCTA imaging enhances cardiovascular risk stratification and prompts the timely initiation of ...
