Although coronary CTA exams are growing in use, coronary angiograms remain the "gold standard" for detecting coronary artery stenosis, which is a significant narrowing of an artery that could ...

This is important because coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) has become the preferred noninvasive imaging exam to help clinicians detect and rule out coronary artery disease ...

When coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was introduced, it marked a major advancement with its ability to provide anatomical assessment of the arteries for plaque burden.

Doctors use coronary CT angiography (CTA) to diagnose narrowed or blocked arteries in the heart. A CTA exam receives a score from mild (0–1) to moderate (2–3) to severe (4–5).

A newly developed, non-invasive imaging test can help identify which patients with coronary artery blockage or narrowing need angioplasty or a bypass procedure, a new study says.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs due to plaque buildup in the heart’s arteries. The plaque causes a narrowing, or stenosis, of the arteries, which reduces or blocks blood flow.
