Description
Chest pain with clean-looking arteries was once a shrug, but Sofia Meossi and co-authors show in a 2025 review that heart CT can now interrogate it properly. The umbrella covers heart attacks and angina where no artery is badly blocked. Modern scans measure plaque amount and danger signs, spot muscle bridges, and read inflammation in the fat hugging the vessels.
Flow estimates and perfusion maps add function to the anatomy, and the scan can also judge heart tissue and find non-heart causes of pain. Blind spots remain: fine vessels stay invisible and radiation counts. The authors expect computing advances to widen the role.
