Stress Computed Tomography Perfusion Versus Stress Cardiac Magnetic Resonance For The Management Of Suspectedor Known Coronary Artery Disease: Resources And Outcomes Impact (Strategy II Study)

Introduction: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is performed as non-invasive "gatekeepers" to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) but intrinsically lacks physiologic data to assess hemodynamic significance of coronary artery disease (CAD). Stress CT perfusion (Stress-CTP) is a recently evolved imaging modality able to assess inducible myocardial perfusion defects. The aim of this study is to compare resources and outcomes of combined CCTA+Stress-CTP versus stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (Stress-CMR) in symptomatic patients with suspected or known CAD.
