Brief summary
To perform CT-QFR, invasive coronary angiography, FFR, and QFR tests on patients with moderate coronary stenosis after coronary CTA examination. Use FFR as a reference to verify the diagnostic performance of CT-QFR, and compare it with QFR.
Detailed description
This study is a prospective and single-center trial in China.It intends to enroll 216 patients with coronary artery disease whose coronary artery is determined to be 30-90% stenosis after coronary CT scan. CT image data will be imported for CT-QFR detection and undergo coronary angiography within 30 days. Quantitative analysis of coronary angiography (QCA) was performed with the degree of coronary stenosis. FFR and QFR were detected during the operation. Use FFR as a reference standard to verify the diagnostic performance of CT-QFR and QFR. The primary endpoint is the diagnostic accuracy of CT-QFR in identifying hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis with FFR as the reference standard. Major secondary endpoint is the non-inferiority of CT-QFR compared with QFR in the patients without extensively calcified lesions. The completion of the project will provide patients with a practical non-invasive assessment method of coronary heart disease which provides the best treatment strategy.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCT-QFR
CT-QFR is a novel method for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis. It is calculated by coronary computed tomographic angiography images.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTQFR
QFR is a novel method for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis by calculation of the pressure drop in the vessel based on two. angiographic projections.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTFFR
FFR measured by pressure wire is the gold standard for evaluating the functional significance of coronary stenosis.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic performance of CT-QFR | 1.5 year | Diagnostic accuracy of on-site CT-QFR in identifying physiologically significant coronary artery stenosis, using FFR as the reference standard. Presence of hemodynamically-significant coronary artery stenosis : FFR \<= 0.80. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Comparision between CT-QFR and QFR | 1.5 year | Use FFR as a reference standard to validate the non-inferiority of CT-QFR compared with QFR in the vessels without extensively calcified lesions defined by the combination of a cross-sectional calcium arc \>90° and a thickness \>1.5 mm. For CT-QFR, QFR and FFR evaluations, vessels with \<=0.80 are regarded as having hemodynamically significant CAD. |
| Other common measures of diagnostic performance of CT-QFR | 1.5 year | Other common measures of diagnostic performance of CT-QFR, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) at the patient level compared with FFR as the reference standard. Presence of hemodynamically-significant coronary artery stenosis : FFR \<= 0.80. |
| Correlation between CT-QFR and FFR | 1.5 year | Pearson correlation or spearman's correlation will be used to quantify the correlations between CT-QFR and FFR. Agreements between CT-QFR and FFR will be assessed by Bland-Altman plot. The correlation coefficient r=0-0.2 represents very weak or no correlation. 0.2-0.4 represents weak correlation. 0.4-0.6 represents moderate correlation. 0.6-0.8 represents strong correlation. 0.8-1.0 represents very strong correlation. |
| The comparison between CT-QFR, CCTA-derived percent diameter stenosis (CTA-DS%) and QCA-derived DS% | 1.5 year | The comparison of the discrimination ability between CT-QFR, CCTA-derived percent diameter stenosis (CTA-DS%), and QCA-derived DS% for identifying physiologically significant stenosis with FFR as the reference standard. Presence of hemodynamically-significant coronary artery stenosis : FFR \<= 0.80. |
