CT Perfusion
Conditions
Brief summary
VALIDITY is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number). The study was designed to evaluate the value of noninvasive anatomic CTA combined with functional CTP for the next clinical decision making and the added prognostic value of CTP beyond CTA.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. age ≥18 years. 2. stable chest pain with obstructive coronary stenosis (50-90%) assessed by CTA.
Exclusion criteria
* (1) Diagnosed or suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) requiring hospitalization or urgent or emergent testing; Elevated troponin or creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB). (2) Hemodynamically or clinically unstable condition systolic blood pressure (BP) \< 90 mmHg, atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, or persistent resting chest pain felt to be ischemic despite adequate therapy.
