About this study

Official title: Cost Effectiveness and Utility of Coronary Artery Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) in Screening for Coronary Artery Disease

This is a research study to determine patient preferences between two different diagnostic tests; a CT angiogram (CTA) and a catheter angiogram, both of which are used at the University to screen for and detect heart disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a single site study that will retrospectively and prospectively identify and enroll 100 subjects, both male and female, 18 years of age and older who undergo both coronary angiography and coronary artery computed tomography (CT), using the electronic radiology and cardiology databases. The purpose is to conduct a survey to assess their preference for either test to diagnose coronary artery disease. Subjects should be within six months of having the tests to avoid memory and recall problems.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Diseases, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Utility of CT and catheter angiography (time frame: Within 6 months of testing with CT and catheter angiography). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2013.
