Coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scans are becoming a more commonly used tool to effectively determine a patient’s future risk of heart disease and heart attack. These minimally invasive scans measure ...

A heart CT scan uses X-rays to create an image of the heart and blood vessels. Healthcare professionals may also refer to it as cardiac CT angiography. A CT scan is a noninvasive imaging procedure.

Patrick's scan showed "significant blockages" in his arteries, Murray said. He was at high risk for a dangerous cardiac event ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and Houston Methodist will harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to more accurately predict risk of heart failure and ...

An artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted algorithm that incorporates information about inflammation detected on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) may help identify patients who require more-intensive ...
