Routine Versus As-Needed Stress Testing in Asymptomatic Patients With High-Risk Coronary Calcium
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Non-invasive stress test: Nuclear imaging, stress echocardiography, exercise electrocardiography, stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Medical treatment without further testing: Optimal medical treatment for primary prevention.
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.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events — up to 4.5 years of median follow-up
a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, unplanned hospitalization leading to an urgent revascularization procedure, or heart failure hospitalization
