The recent technological evolution of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) with improved sensitivity and high negative predictive value has extended its potential applications as a gatekeeper test before invasive coronary angiography. However, the definition of the most accurate diagnostic algorithms comprising CTA as a first-line strategy for ruling out coronary artery disease and the correct management of the patients according to the results of imaging tests still warrant better definition.

Abstract

The recent technological evolution of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) with improved sensitivity and high negative predictive value has extended its potential applications as a gatekeeper test before invasive coronary angiography. However, the definition of the most accurate diagnostic algorithms comprising CTA as a first-line strategy for ruling out coronary artery disease and the correct management of the patients according to the results of imaging tests still warrant better definition.
