Coronary computed tomography angiography showed significantly better diagnostic performance (p < 0.0001) for diagnosis of coronary artery disease compared to exercise-ECG and SPECT. The positive predictive value of coronary computed tomography angiography was ≥ 50% in patients with a clinical pretest probability of at least 10%, for ECG ≥ 40%, and for SPECT 28%. Coronary computed tomography angiography reliably excluded obstructive coronary artery disease with a post-test probability of below 15% in patients with a pretest probability of up to 74%.
