Is there an incremental value to use myocardial perfusion imaging with or without CT attenuation for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease? A study in Chinese patients.

CONCLUSION: Compared to NAC MPI, CTAC improved SPET MPI specificity but decreased sensitivity, leading to no obvious improvement in overall accuracy for the diagnosis of CAD in Chinese patients. However, CTAC might be of value in the subgroups of males and overweight patients and for the RCA territory. In routine clinical application, the integration of NAC and CTAC findings combined with CAD pre-test probability could improve MPI diagnostic performance.
