Risk Stratification
Diagnostic strategy according to PTP distribution
CAC scoring in symptomatic patients Men Women
Effect of implementing NICE 2010 on cardiac services
NICE CG95 Reduces number and cost of investigations
Invasive coronary angiography Findings During Invasive Coronary Angiograms Over half of patients who undergo invasive angiography have no disease and could have avoided ICA Obstructive CAD 55% Nonobstructive CAD Patel et al, NEJM 2010 Patel et al, AHJ 2014
Diagnostic yield of ICA
Non-invasive functional imaging and inappropriate ICA rates
Diagnostic Conundrum
ESC 2013
Stable Coronary Artery Disease Post Test Probability Revascularisation Identification of SCAD patients at high risk of CV death / nonfatal-mi ESC 2013 SCAD guidelines: High Risk = mortality >3%/pa Intermediate risk = 1% but 3% Low risk = <1%
CTCA and Diagnosis Low- intermediate risk High negative predictive value Moderate accuracy if positive Potential to identify risk Anatomical not functional assessment
CTCA Radiation Dose
Functional Tests and Prognosis SPECT Stress Echo Stress MRI Shaw et, JNC 2012
Comparative definitions of moderate severe ischaemia Shaw et al. JACC-CVI 2014 7(6): 593-604
Appropriate revascularisation and Non-invasive testing
Management of CAD
CCTA Evaluation for clinical outcomes (CONFIRM)
Accuracy and outcomes of CCTA vs functional testing
Outcomes of Anatomical vs Functional Testing PROMISE No difference in functional vs anatomical assessment Primary event rate 3.3% vs 3% (p=0.75) CTA Higher incidence of CA (12 vs 8%) lower incidence of unobstructive CA disease (3 vs 4%) Higher revascularisation 6.2 vs 3.2% Higher radiation dose (13msv) Douglas P, NEJM 2015: PROMISE study
CTCA in Suspected CAD SCOT HEART 4000 patients randomised to CTA or Standard care CTCA increased diagnostic certainty Reduced stress tests Increased CA Changed treatment regimes No difference in Death MI Hospitalisation Revasularisation
