Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether coronary artery CT scanning or nuclear stress testing is better at diagnosing chest pain patients with coronary artery disease to select appropriate candidates for coronary catheterization and re-vascularization.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

64-detector, retrospectively EKG-gated, computed tomography angiography of the coronary arteries during heart rate control (intravenous metoprolol, when necessary)

PROCEDURE

Stress Nuclear Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Usually dual-isotope perfusion imaging at rest (201-Thallium) and at stress (99m-Technetium-MIBI). Some patients will have a 2-day MIBI protocol. Gated SPECT and attenuation-correction images will be obtained. Treadmill stress will be performed. If a patient is unable to exercise, adenosine or dobutamine will be given.
