CT is an increasingly pivotal diagnostic tool for cardiovascular disease and preprocedural planning for structural intervention and device implantation. CT coronary angiography (CTCA) has gained prominence in UK clinical practice as it is now recommended in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines as the first-line test for the investigation of anginal symptoms in those without known coronary artery disease (CAD). 1 CTCA is an excellent rule-out test for CAD (figure 1) but has an increasingly robust positive predictive value, especially when combined with CT-fractional flow reserve, 2 which is currently being funded as part of an NHS England Innovation programme. Recent evidence has demonstrated the addition of CTCA to standard of care in patients from rapid access chest pain clinics reduced non-fatal myocardial infarction rates by over 40%. 3 In structural heart disease, such as prior to transcatheter aortic valve implantation, CT can provide accurate dimensions of the aortic annulus, root and coronary ostia to guide valve sizing and intravenous access route (figure 2). 4 Prior to mitral valve intervention, detail on mitral valve annulus morphology, calcification, landing zone and anatomical relation to the left circumflex artery can be acquired to guide device sizing and implantation. 5 Furthermore, CT is important in the workup for electrophysiology procedures to evaluate the size, position and morphology of the atria, pulmonary veins and left atrial appendage prior to radiofrequency ablation and left atrial exclusion. 6 It is increasingly used in the assessment of both paediatric and adult congenital heart disease, especially when cardiac MRI is contraindicated.
