Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how race and ethnicity affect cardiovascular risk and events, specifically comparing Black and White individuals undergoing tests for coronary artery disease.
- Conducted within the PROMISE trial, it included over 8,000 participants and aimed to evaluate differences in health outcomes related to cardiovascular events over a follow-up period of approximately 24 months.
- Although Black participants displayed a higher cardiovascular risk (more hypertension and diabetes), the rates of major adverse cardiac events were similar between the two groups, suggesting potential disparities in health outcomes despite differing risk factors.
Background: Pulmonary nodules (PN) are frequently detected incidentally during coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). We evaluated whether the 2017 Fleischner Society guidelines may result in a decrease of follow-up testing of incidental PN as compared to prior guidelines in patients undergoing coronary CTA.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of a registry of emergency department patients who underwent coronary CTA for acute coronary syndrome assessment between 2012 and 2017.
