*Cardiac computed tomography can be similarly helpful, particularly when MRI is contraindicated or unavailable. It offers superior information regarding calcification of cardiac structures and has some advantages in evaluating coronary artery anatomy when epicardial coronary atherosclerotic disease is suspected.
*Cardiac computer tomography are helpful in situations where a MRI is contraindicated or unavailable.

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 are 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.
