Core Tip This systematic review compares coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and stress testing in patients with stable angina. Analyzing five randomized controlled trials, the study highlights the superior diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of CCTA. CCTA was associated with fewer unnecessary invasive procedures, better event-free survival, and more appropriate revascularization decisions compared to stress testing modalities. These findings support the integration of CCTA into first-line diagnostic pathways for intermediate-risk patients, promoting earlier diagnosis and optimized patient management.
