This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two new computer-based methods that analyze heart imaging scans to determine whether patients with suspected coronary artery disease need treatment. These methods use advanced calculations to measure blood flow restriction in the heart arteries, potentially avoiding the need for more invasive procedures. The study will compare these two new approaches against the current standard care to see which works best and costs less.
Many patients are sent for expensive, invasive heart procedures even though they don't actually need treatment. This trial exists to see whether the new computerized analysis methods can accurately identify who really needs treatment, reducing unnecessary procedures while keeping patients safe and lowering costs.

You will first have a coronary CT scan of your heart (if you haven't had one already). If the scan shows possible blockages, you will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one group will have their treatment decision based on computer analysis of the CT images, another group will have computer analysis of angiography images, and a third group will receive standard care with invasive blood flow measurements. You will be followed up to see how well the approach worked and whether you needed treatment.
