Coronary CT Angiography in Emergency Department: Can We Use It?
Abstract
Acute chest pain syndrome is the main cause of patients come to emergency department. Identifying those with anamneses, risk factors, physical examination, ECG and laboratory remain challenging to exclude the acute coronary syndrome, especially those with low risk probability. Early imaging examination is important for risk stratification of these groups. Utilization of coronary CT angiography quickly identifies a group of low risk patients and allows safe and expedited discharge.
