New approach for diagnosing chronic coronary syndrome in primary care

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate a novel package investigation procedure for diagnosing chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) in primary care settings. The procedure combines myocardial perfusion imaging, echocardiography, and heart CT scans performed on the same day, compared to the standard investigation methods. The study will assess whether this new approach provides faster results, is more cost-effective, and improves patient outcomes such as adherence to treatment and mental well-being over time. The trial will also explore the impact of this method on the risk of future cardiac events.

* Previously diagnosed acute myocardial infarction
* Revascularization with PCI/CABG
* Proven reversible ischemia according to myocardial scintigraphy.
* Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB).
* Ventricular pacemaker
