Abstract

Coronary CT Angiography has become increasingly stable and robust and accuracy to identify and rule out high-grade stenosis of the coronary arteries is high. The main clinical application is to rule out significant coronary artery disease in patients with a relatively low pre-test likelihood of disease. For this application, several guidelines in the US and Europe endorse the use of cardiac CT. Other applications of coronary CTA include the support of coronary interventions, especially in the context of chronic total coronary occlusion, the identification of coronary anomalies, and, to some extent, the assessment of non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis. However, the use of coronary CTA for screening purposes is currently not supported by official recommendations.
