CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. A CT CAC scan can only identify if there is calcified atherosclerosis, where it is and to what extent. And it matters.
