NCT00468325 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 750

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a prospective, randomized multicenter trial comparing MSCT to standard of care (SOC) diagnostic treatment in the triage of Emergency Department (ED) low to intermediate risk chest pain patients. Our hypotheses are that compared to SOC treatment, MSCT is equally safe and diagnostically effective, as well as more time and cost efficient.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Multi-slice computed tomography

Patient receives a CT scan (multi-slice computed tomography) of the heart.

PROCEDURE

Rest-stress Nuclear Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Patient receives the standard of care for emergency room admitting diagnosis of low to intermediate chest pain. A rest-stress nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging test is performed per the standard of care at each institution.

PROCEDURE

Multi-slice Computed Tomography

Patients admitted to the emergency department with low to intermediate chest pain receive a multi-slice computed tomographic test of the heart.
