Conclusions—Nondiabetic patients with a prior CCTA <3 years showing no or ≤25% stenosis had a <5% prevalence of significant stenosis. The value of repeat CCTA in this group is likely small, especially when the prior CCTA demonstrated normal coronaries, even if the clinical scenario considered a CCTA appropriate.
