Abstract 273: The Evolving Use of Cardiac CT to Inform Defining Quality in Imaging [Session Title: Poster Session PM]

Conclusion: Cardiac CT utilization is rising for inpatient chest pain and for TAVR planning. For 90% of the patients undergoing evaluation for chest pain, and 90% of patients with equivocal stress testing, cardiac CT potentially prevented need for further downstream invasive testing. This hypothesis-generating data has potential implications that may inform application of quality standards for TAVR and chest pain imaging. Further research is needed to disseminate the effect of cardiac CT on patient outcomes in this cohort.
