Coronary artery calcium score as a gatekeeper for further testing in patients with low pretest probability of obstructive coronary artery disease: A cost-effectiveness analysis

Current guidelines recommend not routinely testing patients with chest pain and low pretest probability (PTP 0; (C) CCTA in all. We developed a CE model using data from a two-center cross-sectional study of 1385 patients with non-acute chest pain and PTP 0; (C) angioTC como primeira linha. Desenvolv...

Zusammenfassung:	Current guidelines recommend not routinely testing patients with chest pain and low pretest probability (PTP 0; (C) CCTA in all. We developed a CE model using data from a two-center cross-sectional study of 1385 patients with non-acute chest pain and PTP 0; (C) angioTC como primeira linha. Desenvolvemos um modelo de CE com base num estudo transversal em dois centros, incluindo 1385 doentes com dor torácica estável e PPT
