Why the study?
Does adding coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring to coronary CT angiography improve the prediction of MACEs in low-risk patients suspected of having CAD?
Does adding coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring to coronary CT angiography improve the prediction of MACEs in low-risk patients suspected of having CAD?
In low-risk patients suspected of having CAD, adding CAC scoring to coronary CT angiography does not provide incremental prognostic value for predicting MACEs.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support adding CAC scoring to CCTA for MACE prediction in low-risk suspects; leaves open value in other populations.
