Study Comparing CT Scan and Stress Test in Patients With Known Coronary Artery Disease Hospitalized for Chest Pain

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Coronary CT Angiography and Radionuclide Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Symptomatic Inpatients With Known Coronary Artery Disease

• Status: Terminated
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 7 (actual)
• Sponsor: Montefiore Medical Center · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
