My Corus CAD Result

What does my Corus CAD test result mean?

A detailed Corus® CAD Patient Report describing your test result will be generated and sent to your healthcare provider within a few days of having your blood sample taken.

The Patient Report provides the following information:

  • Patient Score – This is a number that ranges from 1 to 40. The Patient Score indicates the likelihood that you have a narrowing or blockage in your heart artery due to atherosclerosis or plaque build-up.
  • Likelihood of obstructive* CAD - The score translates into a percent likelihood of you having a blockage in your heart arteries also known as obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
The Corus CAD test result, along with other information about you – age, sex, medical history and symptoms – can help your healthcare provider assess whether or not you have a blockage in a heart artery and develop a care plan that is right for you.

Patient Report

* Obstructive CAD is defined as at least one atherosclerotic plaque causing ≥50% luminal diameter stenosis in a major coronary artery (≥1.5 mm lumen diameter) as determined by invasive quantitative coronary angiography (QCA).
