Clinical Utility of an Age, Sex and Gene Expression Score (ASGES or Corus CAD) in the Diagnostic Management of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in African American Patients in a Primary Care Setting
This is a retrospective study, designed to be conducted at a single-center in the US. The
study will conduct a one-time data abstraction from approximately 500 patient medical charts
who received Age/Sex/Gene Expression score (ASGES) also knows as Corus CAD testing, by order
of the Principal Investigator. Limited demographic data and patient data pertaining to
cardiology referral or advanced diagnostic testing will be collected. All data will be
collected anonymously.

Though the diagnostic properties of Age/Sex/Gene Expression Score (ASGES) or Corus CAD have
been evaluated in previous observational studies, there are limited data regarding how
primary care clinicians are using the results of the test in the care and management of
patients with symptoms suggestive of angina in the African-America patient population. This
retrospective study is designed to examine the relationship between the Corus CAD (ASGES)
score and patterns of care regarding cardiology referral or further cardiac diagnostic
testing in an African-American patient population single-center site.

requested with a waiver of informed consent, as no identifying information will be collected.
This retrospective study is designed to understand the patterns of care, including referrals
for cardiac care and testing (including referrals to a cardiologist, exercise stress testing,
cardiac computerized tomography angiography (CCTA), invasive cardiac angiography (ICA))
within an African-American patient population.
