Racial referral bias in cardiac computed tomography: Differences, disparities or discrimination?

Background: Disparities exist in medicine and can affect patient care. We sought to understand influences of racial biases in diagnostic testing within a Cardiac CT (CCT) population.

Methods: Race of CCT patients, referring physicians and the population in the catchment area were captured between February 2006 and November 2021.

Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

We sought to assess the prognostic value of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) by meta-analysis. MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus were searched for relevant original articles published up to July 2021. CCTA prognostic studies enrolling patients with CABG were screened and included if outcomes included all-cause mortality or major adverse cardiac events.
