Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a very common cause of morbidity and is the leading cause of death in adults, accounting for one-third of all deaths in subjects over age 35. Catheter coronary angiography (CCA) has been the gold standard in the diagnosis and management of CAD. Over the last few years, Coronary CT angiography (CCTA), a non-invasive test is being adopted by positive evidence and usability for low-medium pre-test probability for CAD.
