About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Coronary Artery Disease focused on measuring Coronary Artery Disease, Computed Tomography, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance, Fractional Flow Reserve

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with stable angina pectoris with low to intermediate pre-test likelihood of CAD;
  2. no previous history of CAD;
  3. obstructive stenosis (≥50% luminal narrowing) on MSCT coronary angiography; 4.informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. patients with a previous history of CAD;
  2. patients with contraindications for MSCT: a.cardiac rhythms other than sinus rhythm, b.pregnancy, c.allergy for contrast medium, d.renal failure (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 50ml/min), e.resting heart rate >75 bpm plus contra-indications for beta-blockade, f. weight >100 kilograms;
  3. contraindications for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging: a.MR-incompatible implants, b. Claustrophobia, c. contraindications for adenosine: i. known or suspected hypersensitivity to adenosine, ii. known or suspected bronchoconstrictive or bronchospastic disease, iii. 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular (AV) block, iv. Sinus bradycardia (heart rate < 45 bpm), v. Systemic arterial hypotension (<90 mmHg). d. contraindications for gadolinium: i. renal failure (estimated eGFR <30 ml/min);
  4. no informed consent.

Arm Description

There is one study arm only. The imaging modalities will be performed in all patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Diagnostic accuracy to detect ischemia with stress CMR compared to FFR
The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT coronary angiography in combination with stress CMR imaging as compared to invasive CAG and FFR measurement, as a standard of reference to detect obstructive and hemodynamically significant stenoses in patients with low to intermediate pre-test likelihood of CAD.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Predictive value for treatment strategy of a non-invasive strategy with MSCT and stress CMR compared to an invasive strategy
to evaluate whether MSCT coronary angiography in combination with stress CMR imaging may accurately predict treatment strategy (medical therapy versus revascularization therapy) as compared to CAG and FFR in patients with low to intermediate pre-test likelihood of CAD.
