What is Invasive and Non-invasive (Computed Tomography) Angiography about?

For diagnosis and treatment planning of patients with stable coronary artery disease, coronary angiography is of particular importance. Invasive coronary angiography is a robust and accurate method for the identification of coronary artery stenoses and occlusions, with the option for immediate intervention. Due to its invasiveness, its small, but not negligible risk for complications, and the fact that angiographic stenosis severity does not closely correspond with ischaemia, coronary angiography is not a first-line test in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Invasive coronary angiography should be performed when non-invasive testing indicates the presence of relevant ischaemia, when symptoms are compelling and cannot be controlled by medication, or when symptoms are accompanied by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. In order to determine the presence or absence of ischaemia, invasive coronary angiography can be complemented by fractional flow reserve measurements. Coronary computed tomography angiography is a non-invasive alternative method to visualize the coronary lumen, but requires careful patient selection, data acquisition, and processing. It is not as s
