Can CT Angiography Be Used to Track CAD Regression?

Guest: Eric Williamson, M.D.

Host: Stephen Kopecky, M.D.

Listeners to this podcast will learn about the role of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in preventative cardiology. CCTA enables early detection and characterization of coronary plaque before significant cardiovascular events occur. It non-invasively visualizes both calcified and non-calcified plaques, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of coronary artery health. These early insights can inform lifestyle modifications and targeted therapies, ultimately reducing the risk of heart disease.

Topics Discussed:

• What is the role of coronary CTA in the assessment of coronary atherosclerotic plaque?
• What recent technological advancements have occurred to improve the characterization of coronary plaque?
• How is AI playing a role in plaque assessment using CT?
• What future developments will advance our use of CT for plaque assessment in the near future?
