2012, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Thus, we cannot say with certainty whether the SPARC cohort and the findings reported in the current paper are unique or characteristic of widespread practice. Nonetheless, previous single-site studies report catheterization referral rates similar to those that we observed in the SPARC (5,10–13). Although randomized clinical trials enhance the validity of comparisons among imaging modalities, a prospective registry design enhanced our ability to observe patterns of care in daily clinical practice.
