Summary
This study tested whether using a special CT scan (CT perfusion) first could help decide which patients with a suspected mild heart attack truly need an invasive heart catheterization. 180 adults with chest pain and elevated troponin levels were randomly assigned to either the CT-first approach or immediate catheterization. The goal was to see if the CT strategy could safely reduce the number of invasive procedures without missing serious blockages.
