ObjectiveExternally validated pretest probability models for risk stratification of subjects with chest pain and suspected stable coronary artery disease (CAD), determined through invasive coronary angiography or coronary CT angiography, are analysed to characterise the best validation procedures in terms of discriminatory ability, predictive variables and method completeness.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesGlobal Health (Ovid), Healthstar (Ovid) and MEDLINE (Ovid) searched on 22 April 2020.Eligibility criteriaWe included studies validating pretest models for the first-line assessment of patients with chest pain and suspected stable CAD. Reasons for exclusion: acute coronary syndrome, unstable chest pain, a history of myocardial infarction or previous revascularisation; models referring to diagnostic procedures different from the usual practices of the first-line assessment; univariable models; lack of quantitative discrimination capability.MethodsEligibility screening and review were performed independently by all the authors. Disagreements were resolved by consensus among all the authors. The quality assessment of studies conforms to the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2). A random effects meta-analysis of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values for each validated model was performed.Results27 studies were included for a total of 15 models. Besides age, sex and symptom typicality, other risk factors are smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia. Only one model considers genetic profile. AUC values range from 0.51 to 0.81. Significant heterogeneity (p<0.003) was found in all but two cases (p>0.12). Values of I2 >90% for most analyses and not significant meta-regression results undermined relevant interpretations. A detailed discussion of individual results was then carried out.ConclusionsWe recommend a clearer statement of endpoints, their consistent measurement both in the derivation and validation phases, more comprehensive validation analyses and the enhancement of threshold validations to assess the effects of pretest models on clinical management.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019139388.

Background: Studies have reported varied prevalence estimates of coronary artery disease (CAD) in cardiac myxoma patients. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to summarize the point prevalence of CAD in adults with cardiac myxomas. Methods and Results: Two independent investigators searched MEDLINE and LILACS databases using the terms "Myxoma”, "Coronary Angiography" and "Coronary Disease" from inception through December 2014 for all relevant studies. We included 6 observational studies. Publication bias was evaluated through Egger's test and Trim and Fill method. A pooled estimate of CAD prevalence with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated based on a random-effects model. The pooled CAD prevalence in adult cardiac myxoma patients was 20.7% with low heterogeneity (I2 = 14.86%). Conclusions: It is a matter of debate if preoperative coronary angiography must be done as a routine procedure. Although coronary disease and angiographically detectable neovascularity can alter surgical management, more studies are needed to evaluate this question.
