European Cardio Computer Tomography Registry

March 13, 2017 updated by: Stiftung Institut fuer Herzinfarktforschung

European Cardio CT Registry

The European Cardiac CT Registry has the unique potential to provide important data that will help to clarify the clinical role of cardiac computed tomography (CT), to create guidelines and recommendations for its use, and to identify the most important areas that require specific further research.

Study Population

All consecutive patients that are studies by computed tomography of the heart for clinical indications

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Inclusion of all consecutive patients with accomplished or attempted CT imaging of the heart (whether imaging of the coronary arteries or other structures of the heart)
  • Informed consent to be entered in the registry.
  • Inclusion of all consecutive patients with accomplished or attempted coronary CT angiography.
  • Inclusion of all patients who undergo coronary CT angiography for clinical indications, with separate analysis of patients with suspected coronary artery disease and previously known coronary artery disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Besides the absence of informed consent, and cardiac CT studies performed as part of a research protocol, no exclusion criteria exist.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
collect data
Time Frame: June 2009-
The general aim of the Registry is to collect data from a large number of patients regarding the indications, general use, safety, and therapeutic implications of cardiac CT in European clinical practice.
June 2009-

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
effect of coronary CT angiography
Time Frame: June 2009-
A first specific aim of the Registry is the analysis of the effect of coronary CT angiography on downstream resource utilization, revascularization procedures, and prognosis in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
June 2009-
analysis of radiation exposure during coronary CT angiography
Time Frame: June 2009-
The second specific aim is the analysis of radiation exposure during coronary CT angiography and the identification of parameters that influence radiation exposure, with the potential to provide specific guidance for interventions to lower radiation dose in the future
June 2009-
