About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Chest Pain focused on measuring Chest pain, Acute coronary syndrome, Cardiac biomarkers, Computed coronary tomography angiography, Emergency department

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 90 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with chest pain consistent with possible acute coronary syndrome.
  • Age > 18 years.
  • Informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous history of coronary artery disease.
  • Electrocardiogram diagnostic or suggestive of myocardial ischemia.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of an evaluation strategy based on utilization of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hscTnT), followed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with low-intermediate risk chest pain consistent with a possible acute coronary syndrome compared to a standard of care (SOC) strategy. Unicentric, randomized, controlled, open label clinical trial that will compare a fast strategy (hscTnT followed by CCTA) with a SOC strategy (serial ECG and cardiac biomarkers followed by stress/rest imaging study).
