Screening Of CoRonary ArTEry diSease

Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble

Summary

This study is a randomized trial with the objective of comparing the cost-effectiveness of the 2 recommended strategies: CCTA vs functional tests, allowing the evaluation of the quality of life of these patients in relation to the health resources used. In symptomatic patients with an intermediate probability of having stable CAD, i.e., whose pretest or clinical probability does not allow the elimination of the disease, and in patients without anginal symptoms for low levels of exercise who do not respond to medical therapy, in France, the diagnostic care pathways have become mature enough to set up a pragmatic prospective randomized trial with the objective of comparing the cost-effectiveness of the 2 recommended strategies: CCTA vs. Probabilistic medico-economic reasoning makes it possible to establish this two-way hypothesis more easily than in clinical research without the need to impose the superiority of one of the strategies.

Official title: Medico-economic Evaluation of a Strategy With Coronary CT as First Line (CCTA) Compared With the Strategy With Functional Test as First Line, in Patients at Intermediate Risk of Developing Stable Coronary Disease.
