Exercise-induced High-sensitivity Troponin Levels as a Predictor for Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (EUROCAD)

December 8, 2015 updated by: Prof Dr Walter Desmet, Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
  1. To compare hs-TnT levels after a cardiac stress test in patients with vs. patients without CAD
  2. To assess the level of post-exercise hs-TnT predicting CAD (using ROC-analysis)
  3. To determine the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this exercise-induced hsTopT level in predicting CAD, either alone or in relation to traditional patient-related and exercise test-related metrics
