Abstract

Purpose of review: To provide an overview of recent studies of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and how it has helped to improve clinical outcomes for patients presenting with chest pain.

Recent findings: Randomised controlled trials have uniformly demonstrated that the use of CCTA is associated with improvements in patient diagnosis, management and treatments as well as the avoidance of unnecessary invasive coronary angiography. These changes have been associated with consistent reductions in long-term rates of fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarction.

Summary: Major beneficial effects in clinical management and patient outcomes are seen with the use of coronary computed tomography angiography. CCTA might be considered to be the first test of choice for the investigation of coronary heart disease.

冠状动脉ct血管造影改善胸痛患者的预后。

综述目的：概述冠状动脉ct血管造影（CCTA）的最新研究，以及CCTA如何帮助改善胸痛患者的临床预后。最近的发现：随机对照试验一致表明，CCTA的使用与患者诊断、管理和治疗的改善以及避免不必要的侵入性冠状动脉造影有关。这些变化与致死性或非致死性心肌梗死长期发生率的持续降低有关。摘要：冠状动脉计算机断层血管造影在临床管理和患者预后方面的主要有益作用。CCTA可以被认为是冠心病调查的首选试验。

期刊介绍： Cardiovascular imaging technologies now play an expanded role in clinical practice. Beyond the diagnosis of a disease process, these techniques are rapidly transitioning to help guide therapy. The journal aims to keep readers current with rapidly evolving advances in instrumentation and imaging procedures that support the expanded role of these technologies in clinical practice. The journal intends to place the entire area of cardiovascular imaging in its proper prospective by establishing the indications and limitations of each imaging technique and by summarizing recent clinical advances. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field, including cardiac magnetic resonance, nuclear imaging, echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, intravascular, molecular, and hybrid imaging. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members ensures that topics include emerging research and suggests topics of special interest to their country/region. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
