Table 4. Diagnostic Performance of Cardiac CT in Comparison with 2D Echocardiography.

Diagnostic Performance* Dataset A Dataset B Dataset C Dataset D
Sensitivity (%) 64.3 57.1 21.4 42.9
Specificity (%) 96.9 78.1 87.5 71.9
Positive predictive value (PPV) (%) 90.0 53.3 42.9 40.0
Negative predictive value (NPV) (%) 86.1 80.7 71.8 74.2
Accuracy (%) 87.0 71.7 67.4 63.0

*Sensitivity of dataset A was higher than that of B, and specificity of A was higher than those of B and D (p < 0.05). PPV of dataset A was higher than that of D, and accuracy of dataset A is higher than those of C and D (p < 0.05). Otherwise, no significant difference was noted in diagnostic performances between 4 reconstruction parameters. p value by McNemar for sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. p value by Fisher's exact test for PPV and NPV, Images are reconstructed with slice thickness/increment of 0.9/0.9 mm at 5% RR-interval in dataset A, with 0.9/0.9 mm at 10% in dataset B, with 3/3 mm at 5% in dataset C, and finally 3/3 mm at 10% in dataset D.
