Knickelbine T et al. – Approximately 1% of patients undergoing MDCT angiography for suspicion of CAD proved to have otherwise unsuspected, but clinically relevant, cardiovascular abnormalities unrelated to coronary atherosclerosis. Almost one–third of these patients had cardiovascular diseases with major clinical implications for subsequent therapy. These findings underscore the value of MDCT angiography and the importance of careful assessment of scans for the recognition of a variety of cardiovascular abnormalities.
