Coronary Calcium Scoring Versus Standard Care for Emergency Department Chest Pain Patients
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chest Pain
In brief
This research asks whether coronary calcium scoring, a non-invasive test based on computed tomography scanning, is a better way to diagnose chest pain patients than other currently used methods. Three of four patients will undergo calcium scoring and the remaining patients will receive standard care.
