Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint: Difference in risk prediction from MSCT-derived information compared to traditional risk factors Primary Outcomes: 1. proportion of patients at high-risk reclassified with CT-calcium score into low, medium and high-risk 2. proportion of patients at high-risk reclassified with CT-coronary imaging (total plaque burden) into low, medium and high-risk | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoint: A) combination of cumulative death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke during 5-year follow-up B) combination of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or angina pectoris (positive stress-test) in patients with FH C) all-cause death during 5-year follow-up Secondary outcomes: 1. risk classification according to calcium score based on coronary tree, vessel or segment score 2. risk classification according to CT-coronary imaging and total plaque burden per coronary tree, vessel and segment. | — |
