Coronary computed tomography angiography in primary care patients with chest pain or dyspnea – a cross-sectional study
CCTA ruled out coronary stenosis as the cause of chest pain and dyspnea in 88% of patients referred from primary care with PTP 5-15%. PTP estimations by primary care physicians in CCTA referrals agreed with the occurrence of suspected significant stenosis among patients with PTP 5-15%, but underestimated it in PTP > 15%. The validity of PTP estimates < 5% was low.
