Key result
In a near normal population of subjects aged 40 to 70 years referred for catheter ablation, the prevalence of coronary artery disease with at least one critical stenosis was 7.3%.

Does not support routine coronary angiography in this population; leaves open whether selective screening improves ablation outcomes.
Cross-Sectional (n=331)
The prevalence of angiographically significant coronary artery disease in a near-normal population aged 40-70 years is relatively low at 7.3%, and even lower (3.8%) in asymptomatic individuals.
Annette Enbergs (2000) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=331). Near normal population (referred for catheter ablation) was evaluated on Prevalence of coronary artery disease (stenoses >50% of lumen diameter). In a near normal population of subjects aged 40 to 70 years referred for catheter ablation, the prevalence of coronary artery disease with at least one critical stenosis was 7.3%.
