No difference in composite primary endpoint (death from all causes, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or heart failure requiring emergency intervention) between the screening and the nonscreening group (2.6% versus 2.4% annually; adjusted HR: 1.0; 95% CI: 0.59–1.71)
The primary outcome event rates not significantly different between the CCTA and the control groups (6.2% versus 7.6%; hazard ratio: 0.80 [95% CI: 0.49–1.32]; )
No difference for the primary endpoint of death from any cause and nonfatal MI (cumulative incidence approximately 19% in both groups; HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 0.87–1.27; ). No significant difference in rates of hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome (approximately 12% in both groups; HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.84–1.37; ). Patients in PCI group underwent significantly fewer subsequent revascularization procedures (21% versus 33%, HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.51–0.71)

No difference in primary endpoints of survival or freedom from major CVD events (death, MI, or stroke) between the revascularization and IMT groups (88.3% versus 87.8% and 77.2% versus 75.9%, resp.)
Patients with abnormal MPS randomized to medical versus invasive-medical strategies had similar hard event rates ((HR: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.07 to 1.81; ), but more ischemic or new scar findings on repeat scintigraphy (54.3% versus 15.8%; )
