Description
Sophie van Rosendael and co-authors review heart artery CT scans for risk sorting in a 2024 paper. The scan shows whether artery walls carry plaque and how tight blockages are. New software can now measure plaque volume and flag risky plaque traits. Fat around the arteries can also be read from the same images.
Many of these measures forecast heart attacks and other major events. Flow estimates from the scan can judge whether a narrowing truly limits blood. Large trials back the scan in current practice guidelines. Trials testing plaque guided treatment to shrink disease are still missing, the authors note.
