Table A1.

Standardized coronary CT angiography using a simple score.

Criteria	1-Point	2-Points	3-Points
Heart Rate (bpm)	<65	65–80	>80
Elevated heart rate variability *	No	Yes	Absolute Arrhythmia
Body mass index (kg/m²)	≤25	25–30	≥30
Coronary plaque ^†	None/Minimal (CACS 0–100)	Moderate (CACS 101–300)	Severe (CACS > 301)
Pretest probability of obstructive CAD ^¥ (%)	0–15	>15

Abbreviations: bpm, beats per minute; CACS, coronary artery calcium score (Agatston Score). * Defined as >6 beats per minute. ^† Using the same visual or quantitative criteria as proposed in recent CAD-RADSTM 2.0 guidelines [27]. ^¥ Derived from a pooled analysis of 15,815 individuals and according to patient’s gender, age, and symptoms [19].
