Conditions
Brief summary
A total of 9269 adults who received CCTA scans for coronary disease evaluation during a general medical checkup at the Health Screening and Promotion Center in Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea between January 2007 and December 2011 were initially selected. All participants were provided with information about the potential benefits and risks of CCTA and made the decision to undergo the procedure at their own expense. They were also informed that their clinical and radiological data would be used for this study and gave their consent. Of these individuals, 7129 agreed to participate, and 6343 were enrolled in this CCTA registry.
