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. Having no evidence of plaque on both of these tests reflects a very low risk of a heart attack in the next five to ten years.
