Early research suggests initiating therapy with senescence-inhibiting drugs could limit the risk of these side effects. 

Himanshu Gupta, MD, says the implementation of FFR-CT at his facility has provided significant value. He and his colleagues are even working to explore additional ways the technology can help them improve patient care.
