“…Two tests center on visualizing functional impairment in the myocardium, whereas one of these tests is capable of direct visualization of coronary artery lesions. The functional tests are radionuclide perfusion imaging (Sabharwal 2017) and stress echocardiography (Elhendy 2018). Both exams are performed during physical or pharmacologic stress and periods of rest to assess for reversible changes in myocardial perfusion or wall motion, respectively.…”

“…The use of procedures involving low-dose ionising radiation in patients with congenital heart disease is increasing 26. Chest X-rays are the most frequent source of ionising radiation for children under 6 years with surgical procedures for congenital heart disease 43. However, cardiac catheterisations and CT account for between 81% and 95% of the cumulative radiation dose 24.…”

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death throughout the developed world, yet the symptoms that patients experience as a result of coronary disease are often not specific. Determining who are the minority of patients with myocardial ischemia necessitating revascularization is a major activity of many medical centers. This task has traditionally fallen to coronary angiography, which is an expensive and invasive approach to identifying coronary artery lesions necessitating treatment through revascularization with stents or bypass grafts. Recently, computational fluid dynamic methods have been developed for cardiac CT that have been shown to effectively exclude patients from an invasive test when they do not have significant coronary artery disease. This manuscript reviews the technique of CTFFR and discusses some of the challenges of widespread clinical implementation through value chain analysis. 25.1 Coronary Heart Disease Pathophysiology Development of coronary heart disease occurs over many years with atherosclerotic plaque deposition beginning in childhood and gradually progressing to a stage that can result in narrowing of the coronary arteries that may restrict blood flow to the heart muscle, particularly during high demand such as during exercise.
