Coronary disease & ACSCohort study
Guiding Automated Implementation Strategies for Patients With Atherosclerotic Plaque on Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography
- Study design and rationale (planned prospective multicentre study)
- automated EHR data extraction
Authors' conclusion
The DECIDE (DErived Plaque Quantification: CCTA and AI-QCPA for Determining Effective CAD management) study will enroll and characterize a broad spectrum of patients who require initiation and intensification of preventive care.
Study context
- Population
- Stable patients with atherosclerotic plaque on coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA), tested for suspected or known CADprojected enrollment, ∼40 sites
- Participants
- 20,000 patients
- Exposure
- QCPA-guided care pathways vs usual testing and stress testing without coronary CTA
- Outcome
- Changes in preventive and anti-ischemic care (medical therapy dosing and type, coronary revascularization)
- Follow-up
- 1 year
