Coronary CT Angiography for Improved Assessment of Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome

NCT03129659 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 230

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Current evaluation of patients suspected of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome is greatly dictated by the results of high-sensitivity troponins. In a substantial number of patients this approach does not provide a conclusive work-up. Patients typically present with slightly elevated high-sensitivity troponins without significant changes during serial sampling and no other clinical clues that can aid in determining the etiology of their chest pain complaints. Uncertainty remains about the optimal diagnostic management of these patients and they are often admitted to undergo invasive angiography. Coronary CT angiography can improve efficiency of clinical care in these patients by reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and invasive angiography. In this study, the investigators will investigate whether a diagnostic strategy comprising of early coronary CT angiography is more clinically efficient than standard optimal care in patients with an inconclusive work-up for non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome.
