This study investigated the potential of cardiac CT as a replacement for cardiac catheterization using a retrospective and cross-sectional design. Conducted at Alia Governmental Hospital in Hebron, Palestine, between February 28, 2024, and May 1, 2024, the aim was to compare the diagnostic capabilities, safety profiles, and patient outcomes of the two modalities. The sample included 50 individuals aged 40-60 who underwent cardiac catheterization, and data from cardiac CT scans were reviewed from private centers. The main results showed that cardiac CT demonstrated comparable diagnostic accuracy to cardiac catheterization, with fewer procedural complications and faster recovery times. Additionally, statistical analyses revealed significant findings in stent implantation rates and associated pathologies. In conclusion, cardiac CT presents a viable and safer alternative to traditional cardiac catheterization, offering significant clinical advantages in diagnosing coronary artery disease.
