Evaluating modern coronary CT angiography in clinical settings
Implementation of Contemporary Coronary CT Angiography in Clinical Practice
This study is testing how well modern coronary CT scans can detect serious heart artery blockages in patients who also have an invasive heart procedure done shortly after.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the performance of contemporary coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease. It will analyze real-world data to identify how effectively CCTA can detect significant coronary artery stenosis and explore the predictors of discrepancies in diagnosis. The study focuses on patients who have undergone CCTA followed by invasive coronary angiography within a month, ensuring a robust comparison of results. By examining the latest technology, the research seeks to enhance understanding of CCTA's role as a first-line diagnostic tool.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults who have undergone CCTA with more than 64 rows and have had invasive coronary angiography performed within one month.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in coronary artery disease management.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with CCTA as a diagnostic tool, but this study aims to provide updated insights using the latest technology.
