| Popis: | Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of сoronary сomputed tomography angiography (CCTA) in the diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients aged ≥70 years. Materials and methods: The study included 390 patients aged ≥70 years with symptoms suggested stable CAD which underwent elective coronary artery angiography (CAG). Initially the prevalence of angiographically significant CAD was estimated according to the gender and chest pain character, and identifications of patients in whom CCTA was appropriate. After that diagnostic accuracy and сost-efficiency of CCTA in the diagnosis of stable CAD in 82 patients with atypical angina and non-anginal chest pain were evaluated. Results: The prevalence of obstructive CAD in patients with typical angina was very high and they were excluded from the final analysis. Among 82 patients with atypical angina and non-anginal pain which underwent CCTA 48 (59%) patients had obstructive CAD. CСTA data matched with results of CAG in all cases. Among 34 patients that had non-obstructive CAD the results of CCTA and CAG matched in 88% cases. CCTA has sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of 100%, 88%, 92% and 100% respectively. The likelihood ratio for positive result was 8.3, likelihood ratio for negative result was 0.3. Positive result increased post-test probability of obstructive CAD from 42% to 86%, negative result reduced post-test probability of obstructive CAD to 0%. Conclusion: negative CCTA result in patients aged 70 years and older with atypical angina and non-anginal pain allows to exclude the presence of obstructive CAD. The likelihood ratio for positive result indicates a moderately difference between the pre-test and post-test probability of the presence of obstructive CAD. In patients aged ≥70 years with atypical angina or non-anginal chest pain which have inconclusive results of functional testing or unable undergo functional testing CCTA allows to increase diagnostic yield of CAG and reduce the frequency of minor complications and diagnostic evaluation costs. |
