Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to optimize an already existing algorithm for diagnosing atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries (CAD, Coronary Artery Disease).
Detailed description
Acoustic information from the heart is obtained from patients suffering from Coronary Artery Disease. The acoustic signals are evaluated as indicators for CAD.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sensitivity versus 1-specificity as a function of cut-off values on the 'Cardiac Noise Marker' scale here under Sensitivity by suitable cut-off value on the 'Cardiac Noise Marker' scale and Specificity with same cut-off value. | The first testday |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Observed differences in distribution of 'Cardiac Noise Marker' within three sub-groups. | The first testday |
