New heart scan aims to reduce unnecessary procedures
NCT ID NCT01943903
Summary
This study aimed to see if a new, non-invasive heart scan (called FFRCT) could be a better first step for diagnosing blocked arteries compared to standard tests. It followed 584 patients with suspected heart disease, comparing how often each approach led to unnecessary invasive procedures and affected patient health. The goal was to find the most accurate and efficient way to diagnose coronary artery disease.
