Over 425,000 patients are waiting for cardiology care in the UK, putting pressure on catheterisation (cath) labs.1
A CT-first approach is placing cardiac computed tomography at the centre of diagnosis and can:
- address backlogs
- support earlier intervention
- improve outcomes across the UK.

The challenge
Most UK cath lab activity is diagnostic, limiting access for revascularisation or structural interventions. Waiting times for elective cardiovascular procedures have risen by nearly three weeks since 2019/20.2
Why CT-first?
Cardiac CT imaging is a proven tool for non-invasive assessment of stable chest pain. CT cardiovascular imaging helps clinicians make informed decisions and streamline pathways.
- Reduce strain: Cardiac CT imaging offers a rapid, cost-effective first-line test.
- Support intervention: CT coronary angiography identifies patients needing revascularisation.
- Improve outcomes: A CT-first strategy relieves cath lab pressure and reduces backlogs.
