Active Comparator: Cardiac CT
Patients who undergo Cardiac CT (instead of Invasive Coronary Angiography)
|
Procedure: Cardiac CT
Perform a non-invasive Cardiac CT Angiogram |
Active Comparator: Invasive Coronary Angiography
Patients did not undergo Cardiac CT, went straight to Invasive Coronary Angiography
|
Procedure: Invasive Coronary Angiography
Patient undergoes Invasive Coronary Angiography |
- MACE Endpoints [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Death
- Non-fatal myocardial infarction
- Unstable angina (including new onset angina or those requiring hospitalization, revascularization or that are troponin-positive)
- Stroke
- Urgent or emergent coronary revascularization
- Cardiovascular hospitalization (including for angina, heart failure or other)
- Additional MACE Endpoints [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- The primary composite MACE endpoint plus major bleeding.
- The primary composite MACE endpoint plus major bleeding or need for urgent/ emergent surgery due to hemorrhage.
- The primary composite MACE endpoint plus major bleeding plus need for urgent/ emergent surgery due to hemorrhage plus need for major transfusion.
- Economic [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
The secondary economic endpoint is within-trial cardiovascular costs*.
*Costs will include index- and downstream CAD-related costs related to diagnostic testing, medications, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, outpatient visits, and coronary revascularizations. (Costs will also include non-CAD-related but test related costs.)
- Secondary Safety Endpoint [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
The secondary safety endpoint will be rates of serious test-related complications*.
*Serious test-related complications will include contrast-induced nephropathy, hematoma requiring transfusion, arteriovenous fistula, aneurysm formation, retroperitoneal bleed, arterial dissection and any surgery for test-related complications and cumulative CAD test-related effective biological radiation dose.
- Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The tertiary endpoint will be general and angina-specific quality of life, as measured by the EQ-5D Health Survey and Seattle Angina Questionnaire, respectively.
