Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary aim of this study is to assess the sensitivity of CTCA to identify low (<10 dynes/cm2) ESS arterial segments, using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived measures as gold-standard. [Baseline]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The secondary aim of this study is to assess whether there is a correlation between CTCA- and IVUS-defined ESS measurements.[Baseline]
