Abstract

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is one of the most prevalent pathologies affecting the heart that can curtail expected survival and quality of life if not managed appropriately. CURRENT STATUS: Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has long played a central role in this subset, mostly for severity assessment and for procedural planning. Although not as widely accepted as other imaging modalities for functional myocardial assessment [i.e., transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)], this technique has recently increased its clinical application in this regard. FUTURE OUTLOOK: The ability to provide morphological, functional, tissue, and preprocedural information highlights the potential of the all-in-one concept of cardiac CT as a potential reality for the near future for AVS assessment. In this review article, we sought to analyze the current applications of cardiac CT that allow a full comprehensive evaluation of aortic valve disease. Key Points: Noninvasive myocardial tissue characterization stopped being an exclusive feature of cardiac magnetic resonance. Emerging acquisition methods make cardiac CT an accurate and widely accessible imaging modality. Cardiac CT has the potential to become a "one-stop" exam for comprehensive aortic stenosis assessment.
