Physiological correlates of densely calcified coronary lesions on coronary computed tomography angiography among patients with low-to-intermediate coronary artery disease likelihood

ObjectivesCoronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is often used to assess the extent and severity of atherosclerosis. A major limitation of CCTA are densely calcified coronary plaques that obscure the underlying lumen rendering assessment difficult. The purpose of this study was to evaluate
