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 physician.
The Patient Report provides the following information:
- Patient score - The score is a number that ranges between 0 and 40. The Patient Score indicates the likelihood that you have obstructive* coronary artery disease or CAD (a narrowed or blocked coronary artery due to disease)
- Likelihood of obstructive CAD - The score is linked to a percentage likelihood of obstructive CAD
The Corus CAD test result, along with other information your physician has about your age, gender, medical history and symptoms, may help her or him assess whether you have obstructive CAD. The result may help your physician develop a care plan that is best suited to you.

* 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).
