 "Coronary CT Angiography for Suspected ACS in the Era of High-Sensitivity Troponins"

"Conclusions
 CCTA, applied early in the work-up of suspected ACS, is safe and associated with less outpatient testing and lower costs. However, in the era of hs-troponins, CCTA does not identify more patients with significant CAD requiring coronary revascularization, shorten hospital stay, or allow for more direct discharge from the ED.
