TLDR
It is therefore of utmost importance that interventional cardiologists become familiar with image interpretation and up-to-date regarding several CCTA features, taking advantage of this information in planning the procedure, ultimately leading to improvement in patient outcomes.Abstract:
In recent years, coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has become a widely adopted technique, not only due to its high diagnostic accuracy, but also to the fact that CCTA provides a comprehensive evaluation of the total (obstructive and non-obstructive) coronary atherosclerotic burden. More recently, this technique has become mature, with a large body of evidence addressing its prognostic validation. In addition, CT angiography has moved from the field of ‘imagers’ and clinicians and entered the interventional cardiology arena, aiding in the planning of both coronary and structural heart interventions, being transcatheter aortic valve implantation one of its most successful examples. It is therefore of utmost importance that interventional cardiologists become familiar with image interpretation and up-to-date regarding several CTA features, taking advantage of this information in planning the procedure, ultimately leading to improvement in patient outcomes. On the other hand, the increasing use of CCTA as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography is expected to lead to an increase in the ratio of interventional to diagnostic procedures and significant changes in the daily cath-lab routine. In a foreseeable future, cath-labs will probably offer an invasive procedure only to patients expected to undergo an intervention, perhaps becoming in this change true interventional-labs.read more

TL;DR: Various plaque metrics obtained by cardiac CT predict provocable myocardial ischemia by CT perfusion imaging through their association with maximum percent stenosis, while none had significant incremental value.

TL;DR: The integration of a novel non-invasive functional coronary assessment with the angiographic risk score in patients with multivessel CAD further refines the identification of patients at risk and provides a recommendation for the Heart Team regarding the treatment strategy.

Cardiac Computed Tomography for Comprehensive Coronary Assessment: Beyond Diagnosis of Anatomic Stenosis
TL;DR: The ability of CCTA to provide comprehensive assessment of a patient with suspected CAD is discussed, including functional techniques of stress-rest myocardial perfusion assessment using a vasodilator and a purely post-processing approach that assesses fractional flow reserve derived by CCTa.

Comparison of radiation dose and image quality: 320-MDCT versus 64-MDCT coronary angiography.
TL;DR: Overall radiation dose was significantly lower in 320-MDCT angiography when the heart rate was 65 beats/min or less and image quality was good for both 320- and 64-MD CT angiographic.

Prognostic Value of Multidetector Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Relation to Exercise Electrocardiogram in Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: In patients with suspected coronary artery disease, coronary CTA discriminates future risk of MACE in patients independent of XECG results, which has an additive prognostic value only in patients with moderate to severe stenosis on coronary Cta.
