[Agency] NIH [Project Title] COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF NONINVASIVE CARDIAC IMAGING [Institution] BRIGHAM AND WOMEN»S HOSPITAL [Amount] $499,077 [Summary] The proposed application under this challenge grant seek to answer the following questions: (1) What is the incremental cost-effectiveness of SPECT, PET, and CCTA as well as their respective accuracy for identification of obstructive CAD, and clinical event risk re-classification?; (2) Do these diagnostic strategies perform similarly with respect to risk prediction in all patient subgroups including women, diabetics, and obese individuals?; (3) Are these diagnostic strategies equal in identifying optimal patient management by predicting therapeutic benefit (medical therapy vs. revascularization)?; (4) Are differences between these noninvasive modalities with respect to risk prediction and cost-effectiveness influenced by the quality of image interpretation?
