Noninvasive cardiac imaging

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also referred to as coronary heart disease (CHD) or ischemic heart disease (IHD), is a leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States and is the most common form of cardiovascular disease.  Accurate and early assessment of patients with symptomatic CAD is important for risk management and initiation of appropriate treatments to reduce morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive anatomic tests provide information on location and extent of blockage and include coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).
