“…On the other hand, coronary CT angiography has become a first‐line diagnostic method in the evaluation of patients with chest pain and an intermediate probability of coronary disease 8 . In both patients, the main complaint that motivated the cardiology consultation was chest pain; atypical in the first case and typically anginal in the second.…”

“…Despite emerging evidence that a CAC score of 0 may serve as a “gatekeeper” for further testing in low to intermediate risk individuals with chest pain [83] , current guidelines do not recommend CAC testing in those with symptoms [20] . Instead, coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has emerged as an effective imaging modality that may be useful as an alternative to CAC in certain clinical settings, especially among those with chest pain [84] .…”

“…Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is mainly confined to the evaluation of acute myocardial infarction in the early stage [ 5 ]; in particular, the evaluation of myocardial tissue abnormalities such as the presence of myocardial edema, microvascular obstruction (MVO), and the presence of left ventricular thrombus, can play a key role in terms of prognostic stratification in the early stage [ 5 ]. In the acute setting, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can be extremely important to rule out CAD [ 7 ], identify presence of high-risk coronary plaque [ 8 ], or severe stenosis, that may lead to acute myocardial infarction [ 9 ]. Furthermore, the application of CCTA can be extremely important for the identification of differential diagnosis causing chest pain and increased troponin, such as acute myocarditis [ 10 ].…”

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a potentially fatal event usually caused by a cardiac arrhythmia, which is often the result of coronary artery disease (CAD). Up to 80% of patients suffering from SCD have concomitant CAD. Arrhythmic complications may occur in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) before admission, during revascularization procedures, and in hospital intensive care monitoring. In addition, about 20% of patients who survive cardiac arrest develop a transmural myocardial infarction (MI). Prevention of ACS can be evaluated in selected patients using cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), while diagnosis can be depicted using electrocardiography (ECG), and complications can be evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and echocardiography. CCTA can evaluate plaque, burden of disease, stenosis, and adverse plaque characteristics, in patients with chest pain. ECG and echocardiography are the first-line tests for ACS and are affordable and useful for diagnosis. CMR can evaluate function and the presence of complications after ACS, such as development of ventricular thrombus and presence of myocardial tissue characterization abnormalities that can be the substrate of ventricular arrhythmias.
