The emerging role of coronary computed tomography for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic individuals
- Narrative review
Authors' conclusion
Although no randomized trials have yet demonstrated that CCTA-based screening improves clinical outcomes in asymptomatic individuals compared with standard care, the same is true of traditional cardiovascular risk scores.
Study context
- Population
- Asymptomatic individuals (primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD))
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Role of coronary CT (coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS), CCTA) in ASCVD prevention in asymptomatic individuals (narrative review)
Three large ongoing randomised trials are evaluating whether coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-guided, personalised prevention can reduce ASCVD events
