Prognostic Value of 64-Slice Cardiac Computed Tomography Severity of Coronary Artery Disease, Coronary Atherosclerosis, and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the prognostic and incremental value of coronary artery disease (CAD) severity, coronary atherosclerosis, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured with cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA). BACKGROUND: CTA is an emerging tool used for the detection of obstructive CAD. However, there are limited data supporting the prognostic value of 64-slice CTA and its ability to predict all-cause …
