Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Rate of negative invasive catheterization procedures (superiority) Proportion of invasive angiograms without relevant coronary artery disease. A positive invasive angiogram is defined as: CAD with a class I indication for myocardial revascularization, in accordance with clinical guidelines [Wijns]. This indication will be assessed independently, in a blinded fashion, regardless of the clinical decision made by the treating physician: * Left main coronary stenosis >50% with objective ischemia. * Proximal LAD stenosis >50% with objective ischemia. * Two or three vessel disease with impaired LV function and objective ischemia. * Proven large area of ischemia (>10% LV) * Any stenosis >50% with limiting anginal symptoms unresponsive to optimal medical treatment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Number of patients with class I coronary artery disease on invasive angiography * Positive yield of invasive coronary angiography: proportion angiograms with class I CAD. * Number of diagnostic procedures and related expenses per patient (at 6 months). * Therapeutical expenses (medication, revascularizations) per patient (at 6 months). * Overall medical expenses (at 6 months). * Time until (final) diagnosis and treatment decision. * Chest pain symptoms and quality of life (at six months). * Composite major adverse event rate: cardiac death, non-fatal acute coronary syndrome, cerebro-vascular events. * Cost-effectiveness (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, net health benefit) * Proportion of tests with diagnostic results * Cumulative radiation exposure * Diagnostic complications: allergic reactions, bleeding, arrhythmia, renal dysfunction. | — |
