Data Acquisition for Optimization of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Algorithm

July 15, 2019 updated by: Acarix

Data Acquisition for Optimization of Coronary Artery Disease Algorithm

The purpose of the study is to optimize an already existing algorithm for diagnosing atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries (CAD, Coronary Artery Disease).

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Acoustic information from the heart is obtained from patients referred to examination for Coronary Artery Disease. The acoustic signals are evaluated as indicators for CAD.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
All study participants
Population from 2 sites, sequential design with all patients undergoing CADScor1 intervention followed by the diagnostic testing the patients were referred to (procedure done according to standard of care and not part of study; computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) and, if relevant, coronary angiography (CAG) at Site 1 and CAG at site 2).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve of the CAD-score to Separate CAD From Non-CAD Patients.
Time Frame: Heart sound recordings measured on testday (25 minutes study period)

Cardiac noise marker (CAD-score) ability to separate CAD from non-CAD patients is estimated as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is plottet as sensitivity versus 1-specificity as a function of different CAD-score cut-off values.

The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve is on a scale from 0-100%, the higher value means a better separation of CAD from non-CAD patients.

CAD and non-CAD patients are defined by the CTA and CAG evaluations.
