Recommendations for Risk Stratified Use of Cardiac Computed Tomography for Congenital Heart Disease During the COVID-19 Pandemic 2020-06-09 .txt text/plain 1188 70 40 title: Recommendations for Risk Stratified Use of Cardiac Computed Tomography for Congenital Heart Disease During the COVID-19 Pandemic We have stratified the most common indications for cardiac computed tomography (CCT) imaging in patients with CHD to help guide care for these patients during the COVID-19 pandemic including considerations for reopening. Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is used to define cardiac anatomy in patients with known or suspected congenital heart disease (CHD) primarily to determine optimal timing of surgical or catheter based intervention, and to guide medical management [1] . The use of CCT amidst the COVID-19 pandemic for adult cardiac indications is outlined in recently published guidelines from the Society of Computed Tomography (SCCT) [3] . The use of cardiac computed tomography (CCT) in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients requires stratification to protect patients and staff, optimize use of personal protective equipment and minimize risk of adverse outcome from deferred testing. ./cache/cord-263244-dv2baj6j.txt ./txt/cord-263244-dv2baj6j.txt
