MUNICH — Adding CT coronary angiography (CTCA) to standard care in patients with stable chest pain leads to a significant reduction in rates of death from coronary heart disease (CHD) or nonfatal ...

Ever since the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) gave priority to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as the test of choice for patients presenting with recent-onset ...

"These extended and sustained benefits appear to be primarily driven by a reduction in the rate of non-fatal MI, suggesting that the principal benefit of CCTA [coronary CT angiography] is driven by ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators and colleagues have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that uses computed tomography (CT) scans to identify patients at risk of reduced blood flow to the heart.

In this multicenter trial, 3561 patients with stable chest pain at intermediate risk for obstructive coronary artery disease were randomly assigned to undergo CT or invasive coronary angiography. Over ...
