Pretest likelihood of CAD
Low risk= Risk stratification of ASCVD, optional CAC
Intermediate-high risk, younger patient <65 years, suspected less obstructive CAD = Favored Coronary CT Angiography
Intermediate-high risk, older patient≥ 65 years, suspected more obstructive CAD= Favored Stress Testing
The above table adopted from 2021 AHA/ACC/ASE Guideline[1]
