Brief summary

The overall goal of this project is to compare the non-revascularization rate of coronary angiography in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) within 90 days after CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) or Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI), and 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Detailed description

Participants will be patients with proven coronary artery disease (CAD) who are scheduled randomized to undergo CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (CT-MPI) or Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) to evaluate myocardium ischemia. Those patients with positive myocardial ischemia will scheduled to undergo invasive coronary angiography (ICA), and those without myocardial ischemia will have optical medical therapy. The purpose of the study is to verify that CT-MPI guided clinical pathways are not inferior to SPECT-MPI pathways in downstream treatment decision making and safety assessment. In order to achieve this aim, the study team will compare the non-revascularization rate of ICA within 90 days after CT-MPI and SPECT-MPI. 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) will be also compared.

Interventions

Patients with positive myocardial ischemia either in CT-MPI guided arm or SPECT-MPI guided arm will scheduled to undergo invasive coronary angiography.

Patients with negative myocardial ischemia either in CT-MPI guided arm or SPECT-MPI guided arm will scheduled to have routine medical therapy instead of invasive coronary angiography.
