Condition: Coronary Artery Disease · Sponsor: Harbin Medical University
The CARDIAC trial is a prospective, parallel, open-label cluster randomized trial that aims to determine the effectiveness of a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA)-guided intensive intervention strategy, as compared with standard care, on reducing the incidence of major adverse events (MACE) at 18 months among high-risk cardiovascular populations in rural China. An extended observational follow-up at 36 months will be conducted to further evaluate the effect on long-term clinical outcomes.
