Cardiovascular magnetic resonance versus coronary computed tomography angiography with fractional flow reserve for diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease in higher risk patients: rationale and design of CONCORD—A prospective, single-center di
CONCORD will comprehensively evaluate two frontline non-invasive functional imaging modalities in patients with suspected angina and determine the comparative accuracy of CCTA/FFR<sub>CT</sub> and CMR in patients with a moderate-high risk of CAD. Evaluation of these strategies has the potential to inform both the quality and cost-effectiveness of imaging services.
