Prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease in an outpatient cardiac CT angiography environment
چکیده انگلیسی
Among ambulatory patients referred for CT angiography with symptoms or positive (or equivocal) cardiac stress tests, 73% of patients were found to have either normal coronary arteries or non-obstructive disease. Given the high negative predictive power of cardiac CTA (93-99%), these patients most likely would not require subsequent invasive coronary angiography. A strategy of selective cardiac catheterization may substantially decrease unnecessary diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and reduce health care expenses.
