Randomised clinical trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of esmolol and metoprolol for heart rate control of patients referred to coronary CT angiography

Overview

Phase
Not Applicable
Intervention
Not specified
Conditions
Heart rate control of patients referred to coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) due to suspected coronary artery disease are to investigated with esmolol and metoprolol. Acquiring diagnostic image quality with CCTA requires relative low and stable heart rate of the patients during examination. Thus, heart rate control with beta-blocker medication (esmolol, metoprolol) is recommended. However no current guideline is available regarding esmolol administration during CCTA.
