Usual Care
In the usual care group, patients will proceed directly to ICA following referral from community cardiology, as is the current standard of care. Research staff will screen participants in this group for significant CAD using the decision support tool; however, the tool's recommendations will not affect their care, as all patients in this group will invariably receive ICA.
Centralized triage with risk score-based screening for obstructive CAD
Patients randomized to the intervention will have selected features of their medical history, recorded on their referral form, entered into a decision support tool by research personnel to generate a recommendation of whether they should proceed directly to ICA or whether they should receive CCTA. Patients with recommendations for ICA will proceed directly to ICA. Patients with recommendations for CCTA will be referred to CCTA. Based on the results of the CCTA, recommendations for medical management versus referral for ICA will be made.
