Early and accurate diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial to reduce

morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. This critical appraisal of health-economic literature

concerning non-invasive diagnostic cardiac imaging aims to summarize current approaches

to economic evaluation of diagnostic cardiac imaging and associated procedural risks,

inform cardiologists how to use economic analyses for decision-making, highlight areas

where new information could strengthen the economic evaluation and shed light on

cost-effective approaches to diagnose stable CAD. Economic analysis can support

cardiologists’ decision-making. Current economic evidence in the field does not provide

sufficient information to guide the choice among different imaging modalities or strategies for

each patient. Available economic analyses suggest that computed tomography coronary

angiography (CTCA) is a cost-effective approach to rule out CAD prior to invasive coronary

angiography in patients with low to intermediate pre-test probability of disease and that stress

imaging modalitiesmay be cost-effective at variable pre-test probabilities.

KEYWORDS: coronary heart disease . diagnostic cardiac imaging . economic analysis . procedural risk . systematic

review

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single

most common cause of health-related death in

the EU, accounting for at least 681,000 deaths

each year, 15% among men and 13% among

women [1]. CAD costs the EU economy

almost e 38 billion a year: healthcare-related

costs account for about e 20 billion, produc-

tivity losses due to mortality cost e 12 billion

and productivity losses due to morbidity cost

e 5.5 billion, with an additional e 23 billion

spent on informal care [1]. Early and accurate

diagnosis in patients with symptoms suspected

for stable CAD is crucial to reduce the burden

of disease [2–4]. Invasive coronary angiography

(ICA) is the current gold standard for estab-

lishing the presence, location and severity of

disease. However, the technique is costly and

associated with a small risk of morbidity and

mortality [5]. Significant improvements in non-

invasive imaging have driven increased interest

to use these procedures more routinely in the

diagnostic algorithm for patients with sus-

pected CAD [6].

The 2013 European Society of Cardiology

(ESC) Guidelines for the management of sta-

ble CAD recommend diagnostic tests based on

a patient’s pre-test probability (PTP) of CAD

determined from age, gender and symptoms.

For patients with intermediate PTP (15–

85%), a functional stress test is recommended,

chosen from echocardiography (ECHO), car-

diac magnetic resonance (MRI) and nuclear

myocardial perfusion imaging, while computed

tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is

a valid alternative for patients with lower PTP

(15–50%) [7]. The 2013 Appropriateness Cri-

teria from the American College of Radiology

(ACR) reviewed the evidence base for non-

invasive diagnostic techniques and consider

single photon emission computed tomography

(SPECT), ECHO, CTCA, MRI and positron

emission tomography (PET) to have similar

merit [8]. These guidelines provide an assess-

ment of the quality and value of clinical evi-

dence for different tests, but do not provide

specific guidance on when one test is more

Finally, outcome measures varied considerably, even for the

same type of economic analysis. Less than half of CEA studies

(n = 9, 27%) of CEA studies (n = 14, 45%) used diagnostic

performance of tests as the measure of effectiveness mainly

expressing incremental cost–effectiveness ratios in terms of costs

per correctly identified CAD patient. Fourteen (42%) CEA

studies reported costs per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY).

The remaining studies reported cost per cardiac event detected

or prevented, or cost per hospitalization avoided (FIGURE 2).

Further quality assessment using the Drummond 10-point

checklist (TABLE 2) highlighted three common areas of concern:

effectiveness, costs and the way in which costs were measured

(including the sources of costs). Twenty-six studies (79%) were

judged either unclear (n = 12, 36%) or insufficient (n = 14,

42%) with regard to reporting effectiveness input data. Costs

reporting was considered insufficient for 20 studies (61%) and

a further 11 (33%) studies did not clearly report cost input.

Measurement of costs was either insufficient (n = 15, 45%) or

unclear (n = 16, 48%) in the majority of

studies.

In general, studies were judged posi-

tively with respect to the definition of

the study question and presenting results

as incremental analysis (n = 24, 73% for

both) as well as with regard to the inter-

pretation and discussion of results

(n = 20, 61%).

Direct comparison between study

results is therefore difficult due to the

different alternatives considered in the

economic evaluations. Thus, a brief sum-

mary of the evidence is reported, limited

to studies comparing non-invasive tests

versus ICA.

In particular, 12 studies, where a

CTCA strategy has been compared with

an ICA strategy, found the CTCA strat-

egy to be generally cost-effective com-

pared with the ICA strategy in patients

with low and low-to-intermediate PTP of

CAD [17,19–23,29,31,34,40,45,49]. The cost–

effectivenessof aCTCA strategy isdepen-

dent on anumber of factors, but thePTP

of disease is a key driver. The PTPs were

not reported, or expressed as prevalence

of CAD, in two publications [40,49].

A further study reported PTP as low to

chosen from echocardiography (ECHO), car-

a valid alternative for patients with lower PTP

single photon emission computed tomography

Early and accurate diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial to reduce

morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. This critical appraisal of health-economic literature

concerning non-invasive diagnostic cardiac imaging aims to summarize current approaches

to economic evaluation of diagnostic cardiac imaging and associated procedural risks,

inform cardiologists how to use economic analyses for decision-making, highlight areas

where new information could strengthen the economic evaluation and shed light on

cost-effective approaches to diagnose stable CAD. Economic analysis can support

cardiologists’ decision-making. Current economic evidence in the field does not provide

sufficient information to guide the choice among different imaging modalities or strategies for

each patient. Available economic analyses suggest that computed tomography coronary

angiography (CTCA) is a cost-effective approach to rule out CAD prior to invasive coronary

angiography in patients with low to intermediate pre-test probability of disease and that stress

imaging modalitiesmay be cost-effective at variable pre-test probabilities.

KEYWORDS: coronary heart disease . diagnostic cardiac imaging . economic analysis . procedural risk . systematic

review

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single

most common cause of health-related death in

the EU, accounting for at least 681,000 deaths

each year, 15% among men and 13% among

women [1]. CAD costs the EU economy

almost e 38 billion a year: healthcare-related

costs account for about e 20 billion, produc-

tivity losses due to mortality cost e 12 billion

and productivity losses due to morbidity cost

e 5.5 billion, with an additional e 23 billion

spent on informal care [1]. Early and accurate

diagnosis in patients with symptoms suspected

for stable CAD is crucial to reduce the burden

of disease [2–4]. Invasive coronary angiography

(ICA) is the current gold standard for estab-

lishing the presence, location and severity of

disease. However, the technique is costly and

associated with a small risk of morbidity and

mortality [5]. Significant improvements in non-

invasive imaging have driven increased interest

to use these procedures more routinely in the

diagnostic algorithm for patients with sus-

pected CAD [6].

The 2013 European Society of Cardiology

(ESC) Guidelines for the management of sta-

ble CAD recommend diagnostic tests based on

a patient’s pre-test probability (PTP) of CAD

determined from age, gender and symptoms.

For patients with intermediate PTP (15–

85%), a functional stress test is recommended,

chosen from echocardiography (ECHO), car-

diac magnetic resonance (MRI) and nuclear

myocardial perfusion imaging, while computed

tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is

a valid alternative for patients with lower PTP

(15–50%) [7]. The 2013 Appropriateness Cri-

teria from the American College of Radiology

(ACR) reviewed the evidence base for non-

invasive diagnostic techniques and consider

single photon emission computed tomography

(SPECT), ECHO, CTCA, MRI and positron

emission tomography (PET) to have similar

merit [8]. These guidelines provide an assess-

ment of the quality and value of clinical evi-

dence for different tests, but do not provide

Finally, outcome measures varied considerably, even for the

same type of economic analysis. Less than half of CEA studies

(n = 9, 27%) of CEA studies (n = 14, 45%) used diagnostic

performance of tests as the measure of effectiveness mainly

expressing incremental cost–effectiveness ratios in terms of costs

per correctly identified CAD patient. Fourteen (42%) CEA

studies reported costs per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY).

The remaining studies reported cost per cardiac event detected

or prevented, or cost per hospitalization avoided (FIGURE 2).

Further quality assessment using the Drummond 10-point

checklist (TABLE 2) highlighted three common areas of concern:

effectiveness, costs and the way in which costs were measured

(including the sources of costs). Twenty-six studies (79%) were

judged either unclear (n = 12, 36%) or insufficient (n = 14,

42%) with regard to reporting effectiveness input data. Costs

reporting was considered insufficient for 20 studies (61%) and

a further 11 (33%) studies did not clearly report cost input.

Measurement of costs was either insufficient (n = 15, 45%) or

unclear (n = 16, 48%) in the majority of

studies.

In general, studies were judged posi-

tively with respect to the definition of

the study question and presenting results

as incremental analysis (n = 24, 73% for

both) as well as with regard to the inter-

pretation and discussion of results

(n = 20, 61%).

Direct comparison between study

results is therefore difficult due to the

different alternatives considered in the

economic evaluations. Thus, a brief sum-

mary of the evidence is reported, limited

to studies comparing non-invasive tests

versus ICA.

In particular, 12 studies, where a

CTCA strategy has been compared with

an ICA strategy, found the CTCA strat-

egy to be generally cost-effective com-

pared with the ICA strategy in patients

with low and low-to-intermediate PTP of

CAD [17,19–23,29,31,34,40,45,49]. The cost–

effectivenessof aCTCA strategy isdepen-

dent on anumber of factors, but thePTP

of disease is a key driver. The PTPs were

not reported, or expressed as prevalence

of CAD, in two publications [40,49].

A further study reported PTP as low to

Early and accurate diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial to reduce

morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. This critical appraisal of health-economic literature

concerning non-invasive diagnostic cardiac imaging aims to summarize current approaches

to economic evaluation of diagnostic cardiac imaging and associated procedural risks,

inform cardiologists how to use economic analyses for decision-making, highlight areas

where new information could strengthen the economic evaluation and shed light on

cost-effective approaches to diagnose stable CAD. Economic analysis can support

cardiologists’ decision-making. Current economic evidence in the field does not provide

sufficient information to guide the choice among different imaging modalities or strategies for

each patient. Available economic analyses suggest that computed tomography coronary

angiography (CTCA) is a cost-effective approach to rule out CAD prior to invasive coronary

angiography in patients with low to intermediate pre-test probability of disease and that stress

imaging modalitiesmay be cost-effective at variable pre-test probabilities.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the single

most common cause of health-related death in

the EU, accounting for at least 681,000 deaths

each year, 15% among men and 13% among

women [1]. CAD costs the EU economy

almost e 38 billion a year: healthcare-related

costs account for about e 20 billion, produc-

tivity losses due to mortality cost e 12 billion

and productivity losses due to morbidity cost

e 5.5 billion, with an additional e 23 billion

spent on informal care [1]. Early and accurate

diagnosis in patients with symptoms suspected

for stable CAD is crucial to reduce the burden

of disease [2–4]. Invasive coronary angiography

(ICA) is the current gold standard for estab-

lishing the presence, location and severity of

disease. However, the technique is costly and

associated with a small risk of morbidity and

mortality [5]. Significant improvements in non-

invasive imaging have driven increased interest

to use these procedures more routinely in the

diagnostic algorithm for patients with sus-

pected CAD [6].

The 2013 European Society of Cardiology

(ESC) Guidelines for the management of sta-

ble CAD recommend diagnostic tests based on

a patient’s pre-test probability (PTP) of CAD

determined from age, gender and symptoms.

For patients with intermediate PTP (15–

85%), a functional stress test is recommended,

chosen from echocardiography (ECHO), car-

diac magnetic resonance (MRI) and nuclear

myocardial perfusion imaging, while computed

tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is

a valid alternative for patients with lower PTP

(15–50%) [7]. The 2013 Appropriateness Cri-

teria from the American College of Radiology

(ACR) reviewed the evidence base for non-

invasive diagnostic techniques and consider

single photon emission computed tomography

(SPECT), ECHO, CTCA, MRI and positron

emission tomography (PET) to have similar

merit [8]. These guidelines provide an assess-

ment of the quality and value of clinical evi-

dence for different tests, but do not provide

specific guidance on when one test is more

• Riconoscere una CAD ostruttiva con CTA è più utile che identificare o escludere una stenosi funzionalmente significativa con stress-imaging ?

• La stenosi angiografica come gold standard deve

essere considerato un parametro imperfetto, in assenza di documentate alterazioni funzionali.

• Se l'end-point fosse stato la rivascolarizzazione i

" On the whole, CTA might not be the holy grail it was

once hoped to be - that being the complete solution

for diagnostic testing - but its more liberal use

following the PROMISE standards will definitely

improve some aspects of care without causing the

economic Armageddon in the healthcare system."

A im s In symptomatic patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), computed tomographic angiography (CTA)

improves patient selection for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) compared with functional testing. The impact of

measuring fractional flow reserve by CTA (FFRCT) is unknown.
