Coronary CT Angiography Versus Standard Emergency Department Evaluation for Acute Chest Pain and Diabetic Patients: Is There Benefit With Early Coronary CT Angiography?
BACKGROUND Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) reduces emergency department length of stay compared with standard evaluation in patients with low- and intermediate-risk acute chest pain. Whether diabetic patients have similar benefits is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prespecified analysis of the Rule Out Myocardial Ischemia/Infarction by Computer Assisted Tomography (ROMICAT...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography versus standard evaluation in acute chest pain.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether an evaluation incorporating coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is more effective than standard evaluation in the emergency department in patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes. METHODS In this multicenter trial, we randomly assigned patients 40 to 74 years of age with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndromes but with...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of coronary MDCT in the triage of patients with acute chest pain.
OBJECTIVE Patients at low risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who present to the emergency department complaining of acute chest pain place a substantial economic burden on the U.S. health care system. Noninvasive 64-MDCT coronary angiography may facilitate their triage, and we evaluated its cost-effectiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS A microsimulation model was developed to compare costs an...
متن کاملUse of coronary artery calcium scanning beyond coronary computed tomographic angiography in the emergency department evaluation for acute chest pain: the ROMICAT II trial.
BACKGROUND Whether a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan provides added value to coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in emergency department patients with acute chest pain remains unsettled. We sought to determine the value of CAC scan in patients with acute chest pain undergoing CCTA. METHODS AND RESULTS In the multicenter Rule Out Myocardial Infarction using Computer-Assisted To...
متن کاملComparison of Exercise Treadmill Testing With Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography Among Patients Presenting to the Emergency Room With Chest Pain
Background—The aims of our study were to (1) examine how data from exercise treadmill testing (ETT) can identify patients who have coronary plaque or stenosis, using CT angiography (CTA) as the reference standard, and (2) identify patient characteristics that may be used in selecting ETT versus CTA. Methods and Results—The Rule Out Myocardial Infarction Using Computer-Assisted Tomography (ROMIC...
