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.

摘要

在美国，每年有600万患者因急性胸痛前往急诊科就诊。许多患者被收治入院，因为那些疑似急性冠状动脉综合征的患者若立即出院可能会带来灾难性后果。本综述探讨了冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影术是否能改善患者的治疗结果。
