Coronary anatomy detects, ischemia predicts: Real-world insights from the Nancy ischemia registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The respective roles of coronary atherosclerosis assessment and myocardial ischemia testing for cardiovascular risk stratification remain debated, particularly in real-world clinical practice where imaging strategies are guided by patient risk profile rather than random assignment.

Methods

The Nancy Ischemia Registry prospectively included 3,020 consecutive patients between February 2021 and December 2022. Patients underwent either anatomical imaging [coronary artery calcium score (CACS) or coronary CT angiography (CCTA)] or functional ischemia testing [stress echocardiography or stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)]. Follow-up was completed through December 2023. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as cardiovascu
