The Big Picture: Evidence Base and Current Trials in Cardiac CT

Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has technically matured into a robust imaging modality for various cardiac disorders. Whereas early trials focused on assessment of the efficacy of CCTA in comparison with established recommended methods, current research efforts focus on the effectiven...

description Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has technically matured into a robust imaging modality for various cardiac disorders. Whereas early trials focused on assessment of the efficacy of CCTA in comparison with established recommended methods, current research efforts focus on the effectiveness of the technique in specific clinical scenarios. In this article, we provide an overview of recent technology advances, describe major clinical scenarios in which CCTA has been evaluated, and detail pertinent evidence from completed or ongoing clinical trials, including its use to investigate acute chest pain, its use among patients with stable chest pain syndrome, and its prognostic value for the occurrence of cardiovascular events.
