CCTA Improves Clinical Management of Stable Chest Pain

Improving the Clinical Management of Stable Chest Pain Based on Imaging: a Registry of Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography

Sponsor

Tianjin Chest Hospital

Enrollment

50,000 participants

Start Date

Jan 1, 2016

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Stable chest pain Coronary Artery Disease Revascularization Invasive Coronary Angiography Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Optimal Medical Therapy Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events

Summary

The investigator aims to prospectively enroll patients who were referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the assessment of stable chest pain (SCP) suspected of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). All patients underwent CCTA according to established guidelines and local institutional protocols. The imaging data were evaluated using different image post-processing software to comprehensively analyse anatomical, functional and histological information of coronary. This study will determine if CCTA-based imaging evaluation can provide more informaton to improve clinical management for SCP, including fewer MACE and better decision-making of downstream investigations and therapeutic interventions.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating the impact of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) on the clinical management of patients with stable chest pain suspected to be caused by blocked coronary arteries (obstructive coronary artery disease). CCTA is a non-invasive imaging test that can show the heart's arteries in detail. This research will track whether having CCTA information changes doctors' treatment decisions and improves patient outcomes. You may be eligible if: - You are at least 18 years old - You have stable chest pain and have been referred for CCTA to assess for suspected obstructive coronary artery disease - You have signed informed consent You may NOT be eligible if: - You are having an acute coronary syndrome (e.g., heart attack or unstable angina) - You have a known history of coronary artery disease or prior coronary revascularization (stent or bypass) - You do not have normal sinus rhythm (e.g., atrial fibrillation) - You have cardiomyopathy, significant valve disease, congenital heart disease, or heart failure due to another cause Talk to your cardiologist about whether your chest pain and heart history are appropriate for CCTA assessment and study participation.
