Impact of coronary CT angiography in selection of treatment modalities and subsequent cardiovascular events in Thai patients with stable CAD.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enables improved diagnosis of subclinical, coronary artery disease (CAD). This retrospective cohort study investigated the association between different treatment modalities guided by CCTA and the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with stable CAD.

Methods

From 2005 to 2013, a total of 9338 patients, including both asymptomatic individuals with risk factors and symptomatic patients with suspected CAD, who underwent CCTA were analyzed. The patients were categorized into one of three groups based on results of CCTA: obstructive CAD (≥ 50% stenosis in at least one vessel), non-obstructive CAD (1-49% stenosis in at least one vessel), and no observed CAD (0% stenosis). They were subseque
