Validation of coronary computed tomography angiography scores for non-invasive assessment of atherosclerotic burden through a comparison with multivessel intravascular ultrasound

Most frequently used coronary CTA scores have a good correlation with global coronary atherosclerotic burden measured by multivessel IVUS derived atheroma volume. Among them, the SSS score shows the best performance being a good non-invasive alternative to IVUS for global coronary atherosclerotic burden assessment.
