- Abstract
This article discusses the use of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The evidence suggests that CT can accurately detect CAD and improve patient outcomes compared to invasive procedures. Three fundamental changes are proposed for integrating CT into clinical pathways for CAD: better prevention of cardiovascular events, individual determination of treatment strategy, and improved procedural planning. However, there are limitations to the current evidence base, and further research is needed to assess the use of CT in different patient populations. Overall, multidisciplinary research has made important advancements in CAD diagnosis and treatment, and there is potential for further improvements in non-invasive cardiovascular imaging.
