Emerging Role of Computed Tomography Angiography in the Evaluation of Coronary Atherosclerosis
TLDR
The use of CCTA is being rapidly extended to assess the haemodynamic significance of atherosclerotic plaque, associated myocardial ischaemia and to predict clinical outcomes.
usiness Aspects of Cardiovascular Computed omography : Tackling the Challenges
TLDR
New developments in noninvasive imaging portend significant changes in how coronary artery disease (CAD) will be evaluated, but most attention is focused on multidetector computed omographic angiography (CTA) for coronary maging.

Applications and limitations of cardiac computed tomography in the evaluation of coronary artery disease
TLDR
To justify greater use of CCTA in the current healthcare environment, future studies need to demonstrate improvements in patient outcomes, better accuracy compared with established tests, and/or reductions in healthcare costs.
SPECT vs CT: CT is not the first line test for the diagnosis and prognosis of stable coronary artery disease
TLDR
It is argued that SPECT retains its superiority over CCTA as the first line imaging modality for establishing the diagnosis and prognosis in stable CAD.

TLDR
Coronary pressure–derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an invasive index of stenosis severity that is a reliable substitute for noninvasive stress testing and identifies stenoses with hemodynamic significance.

Value of fractional flow reserve in making decisions about bypass surgery for equivocal left main coronary artery disease
TLDR
FFR supports decision making in equivocal left main coronary artery disease and if FFR is below 0.75, the decision for bypass surgery is supported and a conservative approach is justified.
