Atherosclerosis evaluation and cardiovascular risk estimation using coronary computed tomography angiography
- Narrative review
Authors' conclusion
The direct disease visualization of CCTA has the potential to be used synergistically with indirect markers of risk to significantly improve prevention of MACE, pending large-scale randomized evaluation.
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Accuracy and prognostic value of CCTA for MACE
- Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) accuracy for quantifying stenosis and atherosclerosis validated in numerous multicentre studies
- Consistent incremental prognostic value of CCTA for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over the clinical risk spectrum in different populations
