Coronary CT angiography in clinical triage of patients at high risk of coronary artery disease

Objectives. To test if cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can be used in the triage of patients at high risk of coronary artery disease. Design. The diagnostic value of 64-detector CCTA was evaluated in 400 patients presenting with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction using invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the reference method. The relation between the severity of disease by CCTA and a combined endpoint of death,...
