Abstract
This review aims to summarize key articles published in the Journal of Cardiovascular
Computed Tomography (JCCT) in 2022, focusing on those that had the most scientific
and educational impact. The JCCT continues to expand; the number of submissions, published
manuscripts, cited articles, article downloads, social media presence, and impact
factor continues to grow. The articles selected by the Editorial Board of the JCCT
in this review highlight the role of cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) to detect
subclinical atherosclerosis, assess the functional relevance of stenoses, and plan
invasive coronary and valve procedures. A section is dedicated to CCT in infants and
other patients with congenital heart disease, women and to the importance of training
in CT. In addition, we highlight key consensus documents and guidelines published
in JCCT last year. The Journal values the tremendous work by authors, reviewers, and
editors to accomplish these contributions.
