Clinical trial
CArdiac cT in the Treatment of Acute CHest Pain 2 - Myocardial CT Perfusion (CATCH2)
The aim of this study is to assess whether the clinical management of patients with recent acute-onset chest pain without acute coronary syndrome may be optimized by a combined coronary CT angiography (CTA) + CT myocardial perfusion (CTP) guided, rapid diagnostic strategy as compared to CTA alone. CT diagnostic evaluation and potential referral for invasive testing will be performed within 2 weeks after hospital discharge.
The following main hypothesis will be tested:
- Combined assessment of coronary anatomy and myocardial perfusion using 320 MDCT results in a safe and optimized, cost-effective invasive treatment strategy
