Purpose of review: To provide an update and to outline the status of coronary computer tomography angiography (CCTA) in evaluation of coronary plaques and discuss the relevance of serial CCTA in guiding cardiovascular risk stratification and anti- atherosclerotic medical therapy.
Recent findings: Coronary CTA is now the imaging modality of choice in monitoring changes in coronary plaque. It has been used in innumerable clinical trials which have demonstrated the benefits of several therapeutic agents and has excellent correlation with previously used invasive imaging modalities. It is safe, fast, less cumbersome, and a cost-effective testing method compared to other invasive imaging modalities for coronary plaque analysis.
Summary: The emergence of a noninvasive imaging modality such as CCTA, now permits quantification not only of plaque burden but also allows for further distinction of plaque components and identification of vulnerable plaques. Application of these findings continues to extend the prospect of coronary CTA in evaluation and management of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) in clinical practice. In the future artificial intelligence and machine learning will play a significant role in plaque analysis allowing for high accuracy and reproducibility which will lead to a substantial increase in the utilization of coronary CTA.
