Ability of FFR-CT to detect the absence of hemodynamically significant lesions in patients with high-risk NSTE-ACS admitted in the emergency department with chest pain, study design and rationale [PDF]
Background: In the era of High-sensitive troponin (hs-Tn), up to 50% of patients with a mild increase of hs-Tn will finally have a normal invasive coronary angiogram.

Computed Tomography of the Coronary Arteries [PDF]
MSCT Coronary Angiography is a fast developing non-invasive diagnostic technique that can detect a coronary stenosis. The detection of a coronary stenosis is hampered by limited image quality and by motion artefacts and extensive calcifications ...
