MULTICENTER EVALUATION OF DUAL SOURCE CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH INTERMEDIATE LIKELIHOOD OF CORONARY ARTERY STENOSES (MEDIC): ACCURACY FOR THE DETECTION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SIGNIFICANT CORONARY ARTERY STENOSES

MULTICENTER EVALUATION OF DUAL SOURCE CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH INTERMEDIATE LIKELIHOOD OF CORONARY ARTERY STENOSES (MEDIC): ACCURACY FOR THE DETECTION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH SIGNIFICANT CORONARY ARTERY STENOSES

For the identification of patients who underwent revascularization, coronary CT angiography had a sensitivity of 92% (75/82) and specificity of 91% (289/333), positive predictive value of 63% and negative predictive value of 98% Conclusion In the largest multicenter trial to date, dual source CT cor...

Zusammenfassung:For the identification of patients who underwent revascularization, coronary CT angiography had a sensitivity of 92% (75/82) and specificity of 91% (289/333), positive predictive value of 63% and negative predictive value of 98% Conclusion In the largest multicenter trial to date, dual source CT coronary angiography demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy to identify patients with significant coronary artery stenoses among individuals with intermediate pre test likelihood.
