The advances in computed tomography needed to visualize and assess stenotic coronary arteries have enhanced the potential for thorough examination of additional cardiac structures and diseases. Computed tomography allows for assessment of the anatomy and function of cardiac chambers and valves, and plays an important role in the management of arrhythmias. The technique makes it possible to visualize in detail and accurately involvement of the arterial and venous systems while clearly documenting complex congenital heart defects and their correction. The aim of the paper is to provide a summary of the non-coronary uses of current computed tomography in cardiology, and an outline of its future development.
