    Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is increasingly recommended for patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and low-to-intermediate pretest probability.

  • 2

    This study evaluated patient satisfaction with CTA versus invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in a randomized trial setting.

  • 3

    Patients were randomly assigned to either CTA or ICA, with eligibility based on suspected CAD and specific clinical criteria.

  • 4

    Patient satisfaction was assessed through questionnaires measuring comfort, pain, and overall satisfaction with the diagnostic pathway.

  • 5

    The study aimed to fill the knowledge gap regarding patient preferences between noninvasive and invasive coronary imaging methods.
