Using CCTA to improve management of stable chest pain

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to enroll patients referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to assess stable chest pain suspected of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients will undergo CCTA following established guidelines, and the imaging data will be analyzed using various post-processing software to gather comprehensive anatomical, functional, and histological information. The goal is to determine if CCTA can enhance clinical management, reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and improve decision-making regarding further investigations and treatments.
