Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography (CCTA) will increase patient safety by decreasing the rate of missed ACS and adverse events in patients who receive standard care plus CCTA versus standard care alone. Additional goals of the study are to determine whether CCTA can safely reduce the duration of ED visits and the number and duration of hospital admissions.
