title: Computed tomography evaluation of cardiac structure and function.
abstract: Computed tomography is a noninvasive imaging modality that can be used for the evaluation of cardiac structure and function. This review provides an overview of established and emerging applications of cardiac computed tomography, including evaluation of left and right ventricular function, ventricular morphology, native and prosthetic valves, and pulmonary and coronary vein anatomy.
