About this trial

CONCORD is a prospective observational study evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography with fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease, using invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the reference standard.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients aged ≥18 years

Referred for invasive coronary angiography for investigation of chest pain

Disqualifiers

Recent acute coronary syndrome (< 6 months)

Previous coronary artery bypass grafting

Severe claustrophobia

Absolute contraindications to CMR - those with MR conditional or safe devices will be included

Trial population

Patients with suspected coronary artery disease referred for invasive coronary angiography
