Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Subjects with suspected or known stable angina with pre-test likelihood of 0-50% using the method recommended by the European Society of Cardiology 2013 Guidelines on the management of stable coronary artery disease (Eur Heart J 2013); - Subjects who because of age, general medical or psychiatric condition, or physiologic status cannot give valid informed consent or tolerate the coronary CTA examination; - Subjects with (severe) renal insufficiency, indicated as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 3 months before the planned scan; - Contraindication or allergy to intravenous contrast agent(s); - Subjects who participate in an other study with radiation which is estimated to be in risk category III (ICRP 62); - Subjects who are pregnant; - Subjects with contraindications to cardiac CT and/or step and shoot protocol, betablockers, adenosine or nitroglycerine.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are SDCT and invasively measured FFR. The main endpoints is sensitivity and specificity of SDCT for the detection of hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis defined as FFR | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters and endpoints are degree of calcium blooming and beam-hardening artifacts. A third parameter and endpoint is myocardial blood volume quantification. | — |
