Abbreviations: CCTA, coronary computed tomographic angiography; CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance; ECG, electrocardiogram; ETT, exercise tolerance test; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; IQR, interquartile range; LAD, left anterior descending; MI, myocardial infarction; NA, not applicable; UMI, universal definition of myocardial infarction.

a

Meets universal definition of MI in 2 leads in at least 1 territory (anterior, inferior, or lateral).

b

Protocol criteria to enter through the ETT pathway required absence of resting ST-segment depression of at least 1 mm at the time of ETT. The baseline prerandomization ECG was not always acquired on the day of the ETT.

c

The determination of moderate ischemia by the core laboratory included ancillary criteria (eg, heart rate and workload) for 26 randomized and 4 excluded participants who were enrolled after stress nuclear and for 30 randomized and 6 excluded participants who were enrolled after stress echocardiography.

d

Includes study and nonstudy CCTAs. Enrolled participants with study CCTA: 5757. Enrolled participants with nonstudy CCTA: 148. Randomized participants with any study or nonstudy CCTA: 3912. These numbers represent 50% stenosis criteria for all stress test modalities, in contrast to the Figure, which shows excluded participants based on those who did not meet the differential 50% and 70% stenosis criteria for imaging and nonimaging stress tests, respectively.
