Trial Outcomes & Findings for Rapid Assessment of Potential Ischaemic Heart Disease With CTCA (NCT NCT02284191)

NCT ID: NCT02284191

Last Updated: 2024-08-21

Results Overview

Number of participants categorised as having primary outcome event - all-cause death or subsequent non-fatal myocardial infarction (type 1 or 4b) at one year (post randomisation), measured as time to first such event. Myocardial infarction 'type' was defined according to the most recent Universal Definition (1). and was adjudicated independently by two cardiologists blinded to the intervention and the categorisation added to the study database.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year (post randomisation)

Population: All randomised participants

Number of participants categorised as having primary outcome event - all-cause death or subsequent non-fatal myocardial infarction (type 1 or 4b) at one year (post randomisation), measured as time to first such event. Myocardial infarction 'type' was defined according to the most recent Universal Definition (1). and was adjudicated independently by two cardiologists blinded to the intervention and the categorisation added to the study database.
