Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the non-invasive, Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT) testing as another way of predicting potential coronary artery blockages in the heart.
Detailed description
We are conducting a 16 minute, non-invasive EndoPAT test on patients coming to our cath lab for a first-time angiogram. The angiogram results will be compared to the EndoPAT results to determine if the EndoPAT test, which generates a score, is successful in predicting who may have blockages in their coronary arteries.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To determine if the assessment of endothelial function by non-invasive peripheral arterial tonometry improves diagnostic yield of elective coronary angiography | same day as the angiogram | Will compare the score of the EndoPAT test to the outcome of the angiogram to determine if the score is predictive of coronary artery disease. |
