Brief Overview
This interactive session focuses on improving cardiac risk prediction and diagnostic decision-making in primary care. Through a case-based discussion and specialist-led feedback, participants will explore the complementary roles of Coronary CT Angiography (CTCA) and Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Scoring in evaluating patients at risk for coronary artery disease.
The session clarifies the indications, strengths, and limitations of each modality, equipping clinicians to choose the most appropriate cardiac imaging pathway based on patient risk, presentation, and clinical context.
