Authors' recommendations:
There was substantial evidence showing the high diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice CT in patients with suspected CAD. The high sensitivity observed in this update indicates that CTA can effectively identify the majority of patients with significant stenosis (I50%). The high NPV at the patient, vessel and segment level establishes CTA as a highly effective non-invasive alternative to ICA for the exclusion of significant coronary artery stenosis. The extent to which CTA is cost-effective in the NZ DHB setting is yet to be determined.
