First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors decide which low-risk patients with suspected heart disease should get a safer, non-invasive CT scan instead of an invasive angiogram. About 251 adults referred for non-urgent heart testing will be assigned to either standard care or the AI-guided triage pathway. The goal is to reduce unnecessary invasive procedures, lower patient risk, and cut healthcare costs.
