Official title
Rule Out Myocardial Ischemia/Infarction by Computer Assisted Tomography
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The growing availability of cardiac computed tomography (CT)\* in emergency departments (EDs) across the U.S. expands the opportunities for its clinical application, but also heightens the need to define its appropriate use in the evaluation of patients with acute chest pain. To address this need, we performed a randomized diagnostic trial (RDT) to determine whether integrating cardiac CT, along with the information it provides on coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular (LV) function, can improve the efficiency of the management of these patients (i.e. shorten length of hospital stay, increase direct discharge rates from the ED, decreasing healthcare costs and improving cost effectiveness while being safe).
