The 1-year results from the PRECISE Trial were presented by Dr. Pamela Douglas in a Late Breaking Science session at the American Heart Association (AHA) annual congress in Chicago on November 6th. This global, prospective, randomized trial examined a Precision Pathway versus a Traditional Testing pathway for patients with stable chest pain. The Precision Pathway included risk stratification using the PROMISE risk score, deferred testing in low-risk patients and CCTA and selective FFRct in elevated risk patients. The Traditional Testing pathway evaluated patients through functional testing or invasive coronary angiography. This panel of leading experts will discuss the trial results, how the findings relate to the 2021 AHA/ACC Chest Pain Guidelines, and what the data tell us about different strategies for the evaluation and diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
