Coronary CT Imaging
Diagnosing patients with chest pain or at risk of coronary artery disease can be challenging in general practice. The majority of patients unfortunately do not present with a clear-cut diagnosis. This education session will discuss how coronary CT can safely and rapidly exclude atherosclerotic disease in patients with chest pain and assess atherosclerotic plaque burden. The coronary CT scan can be performed within days.
