Coronary artery disease presents a challenge in diagnosis due to its characteristic chest pain. Despite medical advancements, it remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. To tackle this issue, healthcare professionals require diagnostic methods that are both timely and cost-effective. One such method is coronary computed tomography angiography, which is recommended for patients with an intermediate probability of coronary artery disease. This non-invasive assessment is crucial in helping clinicians diagnose and manage chest pain. This activity provides an overview of the indications, contraindications, and clinical relevance of coronary computed tomography angiography. It also highlights the importance of an interprofessional team approach when managing patients with chest pain.
