摘要
In this issue of the Journal, Budoff et al. (1) publish results from the ACCURACY (Assessment by Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography of Individuals Undergoing Invasive Coronary Angiography) trial comparing non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with invasive quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) for definition of atherosclerotic luminal narrowing at the 50% and/or 70% stenosis levels. At first glance my reaction was, "Oh, no, not another 64-slice CT scan 'validation' report looking at sensitivity (Se)/specificity (Sp) for finding obstructive coronary disease! Didn't I just read a similar report in JACC, JAMA, Circulation, etc.!" However, this was and is not the case.
