Study summary

The purpose of the SMART-EXAM (SMart Angioplasty Research Team-Pragmatic Randomized Trial for Comparing Routine versus As-Needed EXercise or Pharmacologic Stress Testing in Asymptomatic Patients with High-Risk Coronary CalciuM) trial is to compare the major adverse cardiovascular events between routine stress testing and as-needed stress testing in asymptomatic patients with high-risk coronary calcium (Agatston Score ≥ 400) without proven ASCVD.
