Overview
CT scan is useful when other modalities are inconclusive for evaluation of structural heart disease in the presence of syncope (Class2b, 2017AHA/ACC/HRS guideline). If syncope is suspected due to pulmonary thromboembolism,pulmonary CT angiography is recommended.

- CT scan is useful when other modalities are inconclusive for evaluation of structural heart disease in the presence of syncope (Class2b, 2017AHA/ACC/HRS guideline).
- If syncope is suspected due to pulmonary thromboembolism, CT scan is recommended.
