The role of cardiac computed tomography in predicting adverse coronary events

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) has emerged in the last decade as an important non-invasive modality for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) with actively expanding indications. Initial research led to the establishment of a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) for improved risk stratification of asymptomatic patients with intermittent probability for adverse atherosclerotic events; a CACS of zero is associated with low rates of future adverse events. Parallel to the above, a significant number of studies focused on the potential role of CCTA for the identification of "vulnerable plaques", i.e., coronary atherosclerosis . . .
