Article Synopsis
- This study examines whether using coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) improves outcomes for patients with stable chest pain compared to usual care based on risk factor weighted clinical likelihood (RF-CL) estimates.
- In a large study of nearly 13,748 patients, the primary focus was on rates of heart attack or death after three years, comparing those who received coronary CTA with those who followed usual care pathways.
- Results showed that while overall rates were similar between the two groups, patients with low RF-CL had lower event rates when assigned to coronary CTA, suggesting that this imaging technique may be particularly beneficial for this group.
