CT corona angio validity
Hi, for how long the CT coronary angio can be relied upon? My mother 65 who is diabetic had CT angio done in Feb 2020 it was fairly normal with no plaque in main artery and calcium score of zero. The recent ECG is normal, patient has no complain but we found mild pulmonary hypertension in 2d echo which is systolic pressure of 34 mmHg. She is not on any blood thinners.
Shall we repeat CT angio?

Nobneed to repeat CT angiography. She has no symptoms. Pulmonary Hypertension has nothing to do with angiography. There is no time duration for CT angiography validity. The test is always done as per her symptoms and clinical indications
