Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine whether an integrated AI decision support can save time and improve accuracy of assessment of obstructive coronary heart disease (CHD), the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled study of AI guided measurements of obstructive CHD probability compared to clinical assessment in preliminary evaluations by physicians.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the effectiveness of an AI-based decision support tool in the preliminary assessment of obstructive CHD by physicians. Retrospectively collected medical records of participants with chest pain or dyspnea will be randomly assigned to either guideline group or AI group after baseline assessment:

There are three settings:

1. Clinical Intuition (baseline assessment) Physicians assess obstructive CHD probability without any external assistance. Assessment relies solely on the physician's clinical judgment and experience.
2. Guideline-Based Group (Guideline Group) Physicians use a RF-CL table (risk factor weighted clinical likelihood table) to calculate the probability of obstructive CHD.

This approach aligns with current clinical guidelines to assist in decision-making.
3. AI-Assisted Group (AI Group) Physicians receive CHD probability estimates and diagnostic recommendations from an AI model based on retinal photographs.

The AI tool provides individualized obstructive CHD probabilities, leveraging retinal biomarkers associated with cardiovascular risk.

Primary Objective To evaluate whether AI-guided decision support could improves diagnostic accuracy of obstructive CHD to a greater extent than standard clinical assessments, both compared to clinical intuition.

Secondary Objective To assess whether AI-guided decision support reduces the time required to complete preliminary assessments of obstructive CHD.

Participants, Readers and Randomization Participants: Case records of participants with chest pain or dyspnea, all underwent CT coronary angiography or invasive coronary angiography.

Readers: Physicians performing preliminary evaluations of obstructive CHD patients.

Randomization: Participants and readers will be randomized into one of the groups (RF-CL or AI) after clinical assessment at baseline using block randomization to ensure balanced group sizes.
