“…The possibility of integrating anatomy and function in a single exam can enhance stratification of obstructive CAD and ensure better patient management. [3][4][5][6][7] The clinical benefits of CCTA are changing the perspectives of contemporary cardiology, 7 not only for grading stenosis, but also for characterizing the atherosclerotic load and the types of plaques. Recent data in the literature, on the evaluation of significant obstructive CAD (> 50%) by CCTA, have revealed good accuracy, with high sensitivity (82-99%) and specificity (94-98%), when compared to invasive cinecoronariography.…”

“…In contrast, coronary calcium scoring plus coronary CTA is not only capable of identifying obstructive lesions, 33 - 37 but also allows for the quantitative assessment of the global atherosclerotic burden of the individual. 38 - 43 Therefore, it is a much more sensitive tool for the detection of CAD, particularly in the earlier stages of the disease, in which the invasive coronary angiography might miss the diagnosis.…”

“…Por outro lado, a avaliação do ECC, somada à ATC, não somente é capaz de identificar lesões obstrutivas, [33][34][35][36][37] como também permite a avaliação quantitativa da "carga" aterosclerótica global do indivíduo. [38][39][40][41][42][43] Assim, trata-se de um instrumento muito mais sensível para a detecção de DAC, particularmente em estágios mais precoces da doença, nas quais a angiografia coronária invasiva pode perder o diagnóstico.…”
