Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: validation of an experimental protocol in angioTC coronary heart disease for the reduction of contrast medium (MdC) from 20% to 60% based on modulation of the quantity of contrast and on the rate of infusion based on body mass index (BMI) of the patient.;Secondary Objective: to compare the average value of intracoronaric attenuation obtained with the two different methods;Primary end point(s): to assess the diagnostic confidence (defined as an entity of information useful for the diagnosis, obtainable with CT exam) obtained by using the experimental protocol for the reduction of the MdC, comparing it with the standard protocol of administration of a fixed volume of 80 ml of MdC.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 day | — |
