FIGURE 1. Studies Comparing Scores for the Estimation of Pre-Test Probability of Obstructive CAD
The population cohort in these studies included stable symptomatic patients without known coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent coronary angiography on the basis of clinical referral (referral only anatomic imaging, orange circles) or as part of a randomized trial (protocol-mandated uniform anatomic imaging, green circles). Obstructive CAD was defined as ≥50% diameter stenosis in at least 1 epicardial artery. Studies included are: CONFIRM (14), PARTNERS (10), PROMISE (16), CAD Consortium (13), and SCOT-HEART (15). CAC = coronary artery calcium; CP = chest pain; CRS = CONFIRM registry score; UDF = updated Diamond-Forrester.
