Abstract
Purpose of review: Despite growing evidence supporting the diagnostic utility of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) for anatomical assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), its is underutilized in peri-procedural planning especially in the acute setting.
Recent findings: Incorporation of flow reserve measurement techniques into CCTA has expanded its sensitivity and specificity for obstructive disease, and continued improvement in CCTA technology permits more accurate cross-sectional plaque characterization. CCTA has the potential to constitute the mainstay of pre-procedural planning for patients with CAD, who are being considered for percutaneous coronary intervention , reducing their ad hoc nature while facilitating equipment selection and improving catheterization lab safety and throughput. Future studies are needed to compare the cost and benefits of more frequent use of routine pre-procedural CCTA prior to coronary angiography and intervention.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
