ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00352937 |
To compare the efficacy of 16-row multi-detector CT (MDCT) with standard myocardial perfusion imaging in detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients without a previously established diagnosis of CAD.
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Cohort, Prospective |
Official Title: | Comparison of Cardiac Computed Tomography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease With Nuclear Stress Test |
Estimated Enrollment: | 100 |
Study Start Date: | March 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2009 |
Nuclear stress testing is currently the established non-invasive modality in detecting flow-obstructing coronary artery disease (CAD).
Recently, multi-detector CT (MDCT) has emerged as a new modality that offers a non-invasive means to directly visualize coronary anatomy and any CAD.
Studies have shown that MDCT has excellent sensitivity and a high negative predictive value in detecting significant CAD.
The purpose of this study is to compare MDCT with nuclear stress testing for detecting CAD in previously undiagnosed patients.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
All patients without prior CAD referred for nuclear stress testing
