Does CCTA provide better diagnostic performance than ExECG for the evaluation of coronary artery disease?

Population

Patients evaluated for coronary artery disease (CAD) across 7 included articles.

Intervention

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)

Comparator

Exercise electrocardiography (ExECG)

Outcome

Diagnostic performance including sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), summary receiver-operating characteristic curve (SROC) and area under curve (AUC)surrogate

CCTA demonstrates superior diagnostic performance compared to exercise electrocardiography for the evaluation of coronary artery disease.
