Overview
Cardiac CT has been increasingly recognized as a tool to assess for ischemic heart disease in those with intermediate pre-test probability for coronary artery disease. Cardiac CT can identify calcifications and blockages in the coronary vessels. It may also detect associated cardiac anomalies. It mainly help to detect cardiomyopathies associated with coronary artery disease. CT is also useful to characterize of cardiomyopathy features, assessing cardiac volumes and heart function, and post-treatment evaluation. It is mostly useful in patients with pacemakers who can not undergo MRI for further evaluation of cardiomyopathies.
Cardiomyopathy CT
- Cardiac CT has been increasingly recognized as a tool to assess for ischemic heart disease in those with intermediate pre-test probability for coronary artery disease. [1][2]
- Cardiac CT can identify calcifications and blockages in the coronary vessels.
- It may also detect associated cardiac anomalies. It mainly help to detect cardiomyopathies associated with coronary artery disease.
- CT is also useful to:
- Characterize of cardiomyopathy features
- Assessing cardiac volumes and heart function
- Post-treatment evaluation
- It is mostly useful in patients with pacemakers who can not undergo MRI for further evaluation of cardiomyopathies.
