Why the study?
Does adding resting myocardial CT perfusion to coronary CTA improve diagnostic accuracy compared to SPECT-MPI in patients presenting with acute chest pain to the emergency department?
Does adding resting myocardial CT perfusion to coronary CTA improve diagnostic accuracy compared to SPECT-MPI in patients presenting with acute chest pain to the emergency department?
Adding resting myocardial CT perfusion to standard coronary CTA improves diagnostic accuracy for acute chest pain by reducing false positives compared to SPECT-MPI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May improve PPV for acute chest pain when added to CTA; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Feuchtner et al. (2012) studied this question.
