Cardiac CT Contrast not FDA approved for coronary CTA Cardiovascular disease in the USA Leading cause of death ~64 million Americans have some form of the disease Economic burden ~ $133 billion American population ages Obesity epidemic continues increase in future prevalence hospitals ACC National Cardiovascular Data Registry Pts with no Hx of CAD: No CAD (<20% stenosis) 39.2% Non obstructive (<50%) 60% CONCLUSIONS: Better strategies for risk stratification are needed to inform decisions and to increase the diagnostic yield of cardiac catheterization N Engl J Med Mar 11;362(10):
