Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18+ with acute chest pain or chest discomfort, intermediate risk (HEART score 4-6), for whom CCTA is ordered.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-ACS etiologies, prior revascularization, intracardiac devices, or contraindications to contrast may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This prospective study compares AI-assisted CCTA interpretation to standard interpretation without AI in emergency department patients with acute chest pain and intermediate risk. It aims to measure diagnostic performance, physician confidence, and decision-making impact. The trial uses real-world ED workflow to assess how AI support influences speed and accuracy of ACS assessment. Eligible adults are 18 years or older with chest pain, intermediate HEART score, and a CCTA ordered by their clinician. Outcomes include diagnostic accuracy, confidence levels, and changes in clinical management.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, AI-assisted interpretation could improve diagnostic accuracy and speed, and help ED physicians make better treatment decisions.

How similar studies have gone: AI-assisted imaging tools have shown promise in improving interpretation accuracy in some emergency imaging studies, but real-world ED effectiveness requires further validation.
