Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To assess the diagnostic performance in terms of sensitivity, specificity,<br /><br>negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV) and diagnostic<br /><br>accuracy of high-pitch CCTA and dynamic CTP for the diagnosis of significant<br /><br>CAD as defined by an FFR <=0.80 in patients with a history of CAD.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>(1) To compare the diagnostic capabilities of high pitch CCTA and dynamic CTP<br /><br>to detect significant CAD when defined by instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR).<br /><br><br /><br>(2) To investigate the potential of high-pitch CCTA to improve plaque<br /><br>characterization and as such diagnosis of ischemia - due to mounting evidence<br /><br>suggesting a relationship between adverse plaque characteristics and ischemia -<br /><br>and prognosis.<br /><br><br /><br>(3) To evaluate the prognostic value of high-pitch CCTA and dynamic CTP. </p><br>
