Can computed tomography improve outcomes in acute coronary syndrome?
Br J Hosp Med (Lond).
2009 Aug.
Abstract
Each year, six million patients in the USA visit the emergency department for acute chest pain. Many patients are hospitalized because immediate discharge of those suspected of acute coronary syndrome could be disastrous. This review looks at whether patient outcomes could be improved by coronary computed tomography angiography.
