Table 4. Diagnostic tests evaluating the test model (without side branches) ESS estimates versus the reference standard (i.e. using the entire coronary tree) ESS estimates.

Arteries High ESS
Proximal Sensitivity (CI) Specificity (CI) NPV (CI) PPV (CI) Accuracy
All 44.7 (28.6-61.7) 95.5 (91.4-98.0) 89.0 (83.7-93.1) 68.0 (46.5-85.1) 86.6
LAD 30.0 (6.7-65.3) 89.3 (80.1-95.3) 90.5 (81.5-96.1) 27.3 ( 6.0-61.0) 82.4
LCx 0 (0-84.2) 97.7 (88.0-100) 95.6 (84.9-99.5) 0 (0-97.5) 93.5
RCA 53.9 (33.4-73.4) 100 (94.0-100) 83.1 (72.3-91.0) 100 (76.8-91.0) 85.9

Test outcomes to detect high ESS regions in the proximal portions of the coronaries are depicted. All values in percentages [%]; CI: 95% confidence interval, NPV: negative predictive value, PPV: positive predictive value.
