Prognostic value of coronary CTA vs. exercise treadmill testing: results from the Partners registry

Conclusion
Patients with a low-risk ETT have an excellent prognosis at 40 months, despite the frequent presence of non-obstructive (32%) and obstructive (27%) CAD. In patients with an intermediate- to high-risk ETT (DTS <5), CTA can provide incremental risk stratification for future CV events.
