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. 2 Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction. Medicine (Baltimore).

The key issue when it comes to the near-term risk of a heart attack is whether you already have coronary artery disease and how much of it. We look directly at the coronary arteries using a cardiac CT scan. MI = Myocardial Infarction/Heart Attack However, there are two very important caveats.

Diamond and Forrester accomplished this by first establishing the prevalence of coronary artery disease based on how clinically likely patients with chest pain symptoms were found to have coronary disease based on a coronary angiogram. Thanks for reading Dr. Anish Koka's Newsletter! This happens.
