Abstract
- Various invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques have been used for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Despite several limitations, coronary CTA may soon emerge as the initial diagnostic modality of choice for patients with suspected coronary artery disease. However, in routine clinical practice, the role of coronary CTA is not clearly defined even though promising diagnostic accuracy has been demonstrated compared with that of the other non-invasive tests. Herein, we suggest a new paradigm for coronary CTA as an emerging diagnostic tool in routine clinical practice on the basis of our experience and published data.
