Sixty‐four–slice Computed Tomography of the Coronary Arteries: Cost–Effectiveness Analysis of Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department with Low‐risk Chest Pain

Abstract

In this computer-based model analysis, the MDCT risk stratification strategy is less costly and more effective than both OU-based stress echocardiography and stress ECG risk stratification strategies in chest pain patients presenting to the ED with low to moderate prevalence of CAD.
