In Part 2, Dr. Eshwar Chandra discusses the evolving role of CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) in patients with intermediate risk or atypical chest pain, focusing on its ability to assess plaque burden and detect high-risk features like low-attenuation plaques, napkin-ring signs, and spotty calcification. He highlights evidence from trials like FACTOR-64 and the Swedish study, and outlines contraindications such as high calcium scores, arrhythmias, and renal dysfunction. The talk also covers the limitations of CT in heavily calcified arteries and contrasts it with invasive angiography.

Looking ahead, he touches upon AI-driven plaque analysis, pericoronary fat markers, and FFR-CT, along with innovations like photon-counting CT for improved resolution.
