Key result
A systematic review evaluated the available evidence and cost-effectiveness of advanced imaging techniques, including CCTA and CMR, for patients presenting with acute chest pain.
Why the study?
What is the evidence and cost-effectiveness of advanced imaging techniques (radionucleotide myocardial perfusion imaging, cardiac computed tomography angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) for evaluating acute chest pain in the Emergency Department?

Supports advanced imaging for acute chest pain diagnosis and potential cost savings; extends pre-2012 evidence on CCTA/CMR utility.
Bamberg et al. (2012) conducted a systematic review in Acute chest pain. Advanced imaging techniques (radionucleotide myocardial perfusion imaging, cardiac computed tomography angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) was evaluated on Level of evidence, cost-effectiveness, and impact on decision-making. A systematic review evaluated the available evidence and cost-effectiveness of advanced imaging techniques, including CCTA and CMR, for patients presenting with acute chest pain.
