What are your impressions on carciac CT and how it may affect caths done by cardiologists? Also do you think cardiologists will be able to do and read cardiac CTs just like many read their own ultrasounds?

A lot of hype for a rather worthless technology. Wont' effect the rates of cath or PCI to any great degree. Hopefully insurances wise up and don't reimburse. With stress echo, EBCT, nuclear stress there are plenty of imaging studies to go around and this new technology adds little.
