Non-Invasive EndoPAT Increases Diagnostic Yield of CAD by Coronary Angiography

Non-Invasive Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (EndoPAT) Increases Diagnostic Yield of Coronary Artery Disease by Coronary Angiography

The purpose of this study is to assess the non-invasive, Peripheral Arterial Tonometry (PAT) testing as another way of predicting potential coronary artery blockages in the heart.

We are conducting a 16 minute, non-invasive EndoPAT test on patients coming to our cath lab for a first-time angiogram. The angiogram results will be compared to the EndoPAT results to determine if the EndoPAT test, which generates a score, is successful in predicting who may have blockages in their coronary arteries.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients without known coronary disease who are referred for coronary angiography.
• Adults 18 years and older.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with known coronary disease, acute coronary syndrome, cardiac transplantation, and severe connective tissue disease.
