Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease
• Objective: To review the current application of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). • Methods: Qualitative review of the literature. • Results: CCTA has emerged as a potential noninvasive alternative to both existing noninvasive tests for CAD in some patients and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in other patients. There have be...
متن کامل[Diagnosis of coronary artery disease - part 4: Computed tomography and coronary angiography].
Invasive coronary angiography and computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography directly visualise coronary anatomy but do not provide information about the presence of inducible myocardial ischaemia. Due to its excellent negative predictive value CT coronary angiography is a suitable test to exclude significant coronary artery disease. However, given its high rate of false positive results par...

Recent developments in computed tomography technology have made imaging of the coronary arteries possible. All the same, the rapid motion and small dimensions of the coronary vessels make coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) challenging. With the last generations of 16- and 64-slice computed tomography and adequate patient preparation (which includes lowering of the heart rat...
متن کاملCoronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) as a noninvasive approach underlies a rapid technological development with an impressive improvement of spatial and temporal resolution of the images. Therefore, it has become an accurate and costeffective method to detect or exclude obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with low to medium cardiovascular risk profile, as recommend...
متن کاملCan coronary computed tomography angiography replace invasive angiography? Coronary computed tomography angiography cannot replace invasive angiography.
O ne million patients undergo invasive coronary angiogra-phy (CA) in the United States every year. 1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD)....
