Risk calculators and risk factors for Coronary heart disease CT


Clinical practice guidelines address the usage of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA)[1].

=Evidence

The role of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) versus functional testing is not clear:

  • The SCOT-HEART trial in 2015 did not find clear statistical evidence of benefit anlthought there was a trend towards less cardiac outcomes among patients who received CTA[2][3]
  • The PROMISE trial in 2015 did not find benefit[3]
  • A meta-analysis in 2018 that included the SCOT-HEART and PROMISE trials found not benefit[4]
  • Subsequent publication of longer term follow-up of the SCOT-HEART trial found cardiac benefit[5]

CCTA may best benefit patients with intermediate risk[6].
