ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Abnormal Contrast Stress Echocardiography and With Future Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at 2 and 5 Years Follow-Up2 year and 5 year follow up
Peri- or post-menopausal female participants with an intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) received a Definity contrast-enhanced stress echocardiography study at baseline using either treadmill exercise or dobutamine stresss. Images were evaluated for wall motion abnormalities. The results were compared to patient history on 2-year and 5-year follow up to identify the potential of stress echocardiography for predicting those at higher risk of experiencing future cardiac events. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Abnormal ECG and With Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at 2 Year Follow-Up2-year follow-up
Prognostic value of stress ECG testing for identifying female patients at increased risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 2-year follow-up Peri- or post-meopausal female subjects with an intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) received resting ECG at baseline. ECG was evaluated as normal or abnormal. The results were compared to patient history on 2-year follow up to identify the potential for ECG to predict those at higher risk of experiencing future cardiac events. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
SecondaryChange in Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in Subjects With and Without Major Adverse Cardiac Events at 2-year Follow-up.2 year follow up
The value of exercise-induced changes in blood concentration of cardiac peptide, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP in pg/mL in blood), was assessed in identifying patients with cardiac events at 2-year follow-up. The change in mean BNP blood concentration from rest to stress at baseline is summarized using number of subjects with and without MACE at 2-year follow-up Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
SecondaryChange in Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) in Subjects With and Without Major Adverse Cardiac Events at 2-year Follow-up.2 year follow up
The value of exercise-induced changes in blood concentration of cardiac peptide, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP in pg/mL in blood), was assessed in identifying patients with cardiac events at 2-year follow-up. The change in mean ANP blood concentration from rest to stress at baseline is summarized using number of subjects with and without major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 2-year follow-up. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
SecondaryChange in Brachial Artery Reactivity Was Assessed in in a Subset of Participants With and Without Major Adverse Cardiac Events at 2-year and 5-year Follow-up.2 year and 5 year follow up
A subset of the study population of peri- or post-meopausal female participants with an intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed for brachial artery reactivity at baseline. Brachial diameter was assessed using ultrasound and a pressure cuff both before and after administration of sublingual nitroglycerin. The results were compared to patient history on 2-year and 5-year follow up to identify the potential for brachial artery reactivity to predict those at higher risk of experiencing future cardiac events.The brachial artery reactivity was summarized using number of subjects with and without MACE on follow-up. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
SecondaryMean Baseline Calcium Score of Participants With and Without Major Cardiac Events at 2-year Follow up.2 year follow up
Coronary artery calcium scoring assesses calcification of the coronary arteries using electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT). It is a sum of lesion scores of area and density above a threshold density. There is no intrinsic upper limit to the calcium score but values above 1000 may not be measurable. A subset of peri- or post-meopausal females with an intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) received resting EBCT at baseline. Images were evaluated for calcium score and results compared to patient history on 2-year follow up, Mean calcium score with confidence interval was summarized for subjects with and without major cardiac events (MACE) at 2-year follow up. Calcium score for general population: Score Description Relative Risk 0 No evidence of CAD 0 1-112 Average Risk of CAD 1.9 100-400 Moderate risk of CAD 4.3 400-999 High risk of CAD 7.2 1000 Very high risk of CAD 10.8
SecondaryThe Presence of Wall Motion Abnormalities on Definity Stress Echocardiography Assessed for Participants With Both Normal and Abnormal Angiography60 days
In the sub-set of efficacy-evaluable participants who underwent clinically indicated coronary angiography, the accuracy of exercise echocardiography vs. angiography was determined for the detection of CAD. Positive angiography was defined as any stenosis greater than or equal to 50% in any vessel. Wall motion index change indicating abnormal motion was defined as greater than or equal to 13% in 2 or more segments. Angiography was required to have taken place within 60 days following stress echocardiography.
SecondaryParticipants With Positive and Negative Angiography Compared With Their ECG Results60 days
In the sub-set of efficacy-evaluable participants who underwent clinically indicated coronary angiography, the accuracy of exercise ECG vs. angiography was determined for the detection of CAD. Positive angiography was defined as any stenosis greater than or equal to 50% in any vessel.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Abnormal ECG and With Future Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at 5 Years Follow-Up5 year follow up
Prognostic value of stress ECG testing for identifying female patients at increased risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 5-year follow-up Peri- or post-meopausal female participants with an intermediate pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) received resting ECG at baseline. ECG was evaluated as normal or abnormal. The results were compared to patient history on 5-year follow up to identify the potential for ECG to predict those at higher risk of experiencing future major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 5-year follow up. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
SecondaryChange in Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in Participants With and Without Major Adverse Cardiac Events at 5-year Follow-up.5 year follow up
The value of exercise-induced changes in blood concentration of the cardiac peptide, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP in pg/mL in blood), was assessed in identifying patients with cardiac events at 5-year follow-up. The change in mean BNP blood concentration at baseline from rest to stress is summarized using number of participants with and without MACE at 5-year follow up. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) are defined as * Cardiac death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac revascularization (PCI or CABG) * Hospitalization for chest pain or to rule out myocardial infarction * Development of typical angina * Development of heart failure
