Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to compare PET vs SPET, with the primary outcome being the sensitivity of detecting significant coronary artery disease (as defined as being >70% stenosis, on coronary CT angiography).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to evaluate the performance of Rubidium-82 as compared to Tc-99m-MIBI, in terms of clinical interpretation, per-cent myocardium that is hypoperfused, artefacts and image quality and determine patient tolerance with each technique.;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome is to assess the efficacy of PET versus SPET. This will be assessed by using a diagnostic decision matrix (Specificity, True Positive, True Negative, False Positive, False Negative) and coronary CT angiography is used as the reference standard.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoint of evaluation of primary and secondary endpoints is Day 1 (or at Day 2 according to patient BMI-determined Technetium-99m-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging protocol). | — |
