Overview
CT offers superior information regarding calcification of cardiac structures and has some advantages in evaluating coronary artery anatomy when epicardial coronary atherosclerotic disease is suspected.
2018 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline on the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay[1]
- Cardiac computer tomography is helpful in situations where a MRI is contraindicated or unavailable.
- It may help in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease and highlights calcifications and coronary artery anatomy.
