No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In patients with chest pain or shortness of breath who are referred for stress imaging tests (either stress echocardiography or stress nuclear testing), the investigators seek to compare impact of using cardiac CT scans of the heart arteries to the stress test that their doctors ordered.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cardiac CT Angiography

Patients randomized to CT Arm will undergo 64-slice cardiac CT angiography (single scan) in addition to the stress imaging test ordered by their physician

PROCEDURE

Stress Imaging Test (Stress Myocardial Perfusion Study or Stress Echocardiogram)

Stress imaging test as ordered by the subjects provider without option for cardiac CT angiography (no CT arm)
