Three-Year Outcomes and Cost Analysis in Patients Receiving 64-Slice Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography for Chest Pain
The American Journal of Cardiology, 08/12/09
Fazel P et al. – In a real–world, clinical setting, the negative predictive value of low–risk CTCA is very high and exceptionally helpful in predicting freedom from events for up to 3 years. By avoiding further invasive treatments, there is a significant potential cost savings in patients who are sent for noninvasive coronary angiography rather than invasive angiography.
