Can CCTA Technicians Provide Accurate Interpretation of Findings in Patients Presenting to the ED in After Hours?

Completed

• Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease

• Registration Number: NCT03168269
• Lead Sponsor: Jordan Collaborating Cardiology Group

Brief Summary

Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography (CCTA) is emerging as the diagnostic test of choice in chest pain patients with low to intermediate probability of coronary artery disease (CAD). Qualified CCTA readers may not be available around the clock in most centers, limiting the use of CCTA. This study aimed to determine if well-qualified CCTA technicians can provide initial accurate diagnosis to guide initial management and triage of such patients
