"These extended and sustained benefits appear to be primarily driven by a reduction in the rate of non-fatal MI, suggesting that the principal benefit of CCTA [coronary CT angiography] is driven by ...

HERSHEY, PA — A new meta-analysis shows that use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is associated with significantly fewer MIs than standard functional stress testing in patients with ...

For patients with CAD, coronary computed tomography angiography fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) is prognostic for adverse outcomes.

For people with stable chest pain and an intermediate pretest probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), an initial CT strategy fared similarly to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) ...

The ROMICAT-II trial shows that CT coronary angiography is safe and fast for the exclusion of clinically significant obstructive coronary artery disease in low-risk patients with acute chest pain.

An analysis of diagnostic test results from a trial comparing anatomic with functional testing as an initial diagnostic strategy for patients with chest pain found that CT angiography better predicted ...

Multislice CT scanners show promise for the noninvasive detection of coronary stenosis. Rapid improvements in technology mean that newer-generation spiral CT scanners are capable of higher spatial and ...

In this multicenter trial, 3561 patients with stable chest pain at intermediate risk for obstructive coronary artery disease were randomly assigned to undergo CT or invasive coronary angiography. Over ...
