    Abstract: Establishing the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients allows appropriately allocating preventative measures. Single-photon emission computed tomography (CT)–acquired myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) is frequently used for the evaluation of CAD, but coronary CT angiography (CTA) has emerged as a valid alternative. Methods and Results— We compared the accuracy of SPECT-MPI and CTA for the diagnosis of CAD in 391 symptomatic patients who were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter study after clinical referral for cardiac catheterization. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CTA and SPECT-MPI for identifying patients with CAD defined as the presence of ≥1 coronary artery with ≥50% lumen stenosis by quantitative coronary angiography. Sensitivity to identify patients with CAD was greater for CTA than SPECT-MPI (0.92 versus 0.62, respectively; P 〈 0.001), resulting in greater overall accuracy (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.91 [95% confidence interval, 0.88–0.94] versus 0.69 [0.64–0.74] ; P 〈 0.001). Results were similar in patients without previous history of CAD (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.92 [0.89–0.96] versus 0.67 [0.61–0.73] ; P 〈 0.001) and also for the secondary end points of ≥70% stenosis and multivessel disease, as well as subgroups, except for patients with a calcium score of ≥400 and those with high-risk anatomy in whom the overall accuracy was similar because CTA’s superior sensitivity was offset by lower specificity in these settings. Radiation doses were 3.9 mSv for CTA and 9.8 for SPECT-MPI ( P 〈 0.001). Conclusions— CTA is more accurate than SPECT-MPI for the diagnosis of CAD as defined by conventional angiography and may be underused for this purpose in symptomatic patients.

    Abstract: Appropriate clinical decisions concerning diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease rely on correct integration of data on coronary anatomy and myocardial perfusion. The purpose of this article is to introduce a new left ventricular segmentation model for improved alignment of coronary arterial segments and myocardial perfusion territories, designed for the CORE320 study. Methods and Results— CORE320 is a prospective, multicenter study with a primary objective to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 320-row detector computed tomography (CT) to detect coronary artery luminal stenosis and corresponding myocardial perfusion deficits in patients with suspected coronary artery disease compared with the gold standard of conventional coronary angiography and single-photon emission CT myocardial perfusion imaging. We describe a 19-coronary segment and 13-myocardial territory alignment model, its application in both standard and CT image data sets, and the adjudication process of the initial cohort of patients recruited for the CORE320 study. Adjudication committees reviewed the images of the first 101 gold standard and 107 CT data sets. On the basis of the presented model and rules, all cases for adjudication were correctly identified. During image review, 6 (5.9%) gold standard and 9 (8.4%) CT data sets needed further realignment not triggered by the algorithm. Conclusions— We present a vascular territory distribution model developed for the CORE320 multicenter study, which accounts for variability in coronary anatomy and potential myocardial perfusion territory overlap.

    Abstract: Background: Noninvasive risk stratification in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) is critical for implementing appropriate strategies to prevent major adverse events (MACE). We aim to compare the survival and accuracy of combined CT angiography (CTA) and CT myocardial stress perfusion imaging (CTP) with combined invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and stress SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging for predicting MACE in patients with suspected CAD. Methods: The CORE320 prospective multicenter study enrolled 381 patients, between 45-85 years of age, who were clinically referred for ICA. Overall, 379 participants had all imaging including coronary CTA, adenosine stress CTP, SPECT and ICA plus complete 2 year follow-up data. An independent panel adjudicated all adverse events. MACE was defined as late revascularization (beyond 30 days of index ICA), myocardial infarction, cardiac death, hospitalization for chest pain or congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed and area under the receiving operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to determine test accuracy. Results: MACE (45 late revascularizations, 5 myocardial infarctions, 1 cardiac death, 8 hospitalizations for chest pain or congestive heart failure, and 1 arrhythmia) occurred in 51 of 379 patients. The 2 year MACE event free rate for combined CTA/CTP findings was 95% (-) vs. 82% (+) (Figure, p 〈 0.001) and similar to combined ICA/SPECT (p 〈 0.001). Event rates for CTA/CTP vs. ICA/SPECT for either positive or negative results were not significantly different (p=0.126 and p=0.284, respectively). The overall AUC of combined CTA and CTP vs. combined ICA and SPECT for identifying MACE at 2 years was also similar: 68 (95%CI: 62-75) vs. 71 (95%CI: 65-79), respectively, p=0.357. Conclusion: Combined CTA and CTP yields similar prediction of 2 year MACE (especially revascularization) and diagnostic accuracy compared to standard ICA and SPECT.
