CORE 320: Diagnostic performance of coronary angiotomography including evaluation of myocardial perfusion versus isolated anatomical assessment.

Review: The CORE-320 multicenter study compared combined angiotomography assessments: anatomical (coronary) and functional (myocardial perfusion) versus anatomical only. For this study, 381 patients who were evaluated by coronary angiography and non-invasive myocardial perfusion gated SPECT were included. In this study the combined evaluation showed better correlation with the observed measurements in assessing the invasive assessment alone, (AUC 0.87 versus 0.81, respectively, p <0.001). Perfusion data provided during the coronary angiotomography realization allows the combination of fundamental physiological and anatomical data in the decision making for patients with coronary disease.
