BACKGROUND: We compared the long-term prognostic value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning, coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA), and stress single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 164 patients were studied. CAC score was measured according to the Agatston method and patients were categorized into 3 groups (0, 1-300, and >300). The following events were recorded: cardiac death, nonfatal infarction, and unstable angina requiring revascularization. Follow-up was 95% complete during a mean period of 82 ± 34 months. During follow-up, 22 events occurred (14% cumulative event rate). Event-free survival decreased with worsening of CAC score category (P < .001) and it was worse (P < .001) in patients with significant CAD (≥50% stenosis) and in those with stress-induced ischemia (summed difference score >2). At multivariable analysis, CAC (P = .001) and ischemia (P = .012) were independent predictors of events. MPI data added prognostic information to a model including clinical variables, CAC and CCTA findings, increasing the global Chi-square from 36.2 to 41.9 (P = .013). The decision curve analyses in patients with CAC score >0 indicate that the prognostic model including MPI resulted in a higher net benefit across a wide range of decision threshold probabilities. CONCLUSIONS: CAC and MPI, but not CCTA, are independent predictors of cardiac events. Stress MPI appears to improve risk stratification over clinical variables, CAC scanning and CCTA findings.
