The PLATFORM Study: Prospective LongitudinAl Trial of FFRct: Outcome and Resource IMpacts)
The objective of the PLATFORM Study is to compare clinical outcomes, resource utilization, and quality of life (QOL) of FFRCT-guided evaluation versus standard practice evaluation in patients with suspected CAD in order to further inform patients, health care providers, and other stakeholders about which technologies are most effective and efficient in the diagnosis of CAD

non-invasive coronary evaluation, and have not undergone non-invasive coronary
evaluation, including exercise tolerance testing, stress echocardiography, SPECT or
MRI, or cCTA, within the past 90 days OR ICA at any time; or
- In Cohort 1B & 2B only have been referred to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and
have not undergone ICA within the past 90 days
- Ability to undergo cCTA
Exclusion Criteria:
- Suspicion of acute coronary syndrome. Subjects experiencing unstable angina are not
excluded where clinical documentation has ruled out a myocardial infarction.

heart failure or acute pulmonary edema
- Any active, serious, life-threatening disease with a life expectancy of less than 2
years
- Inability to comply with study follow-up requirements
- Current participation in any other clinical trial involving an investigational device
or dictating care pathways at the time of enrollment.
