FFRct use for acute chest pain triage in the emergency department: a cost-effectiveness analysis

CONCLUSIONS: For patients presenting to the ED with acute chest pain and a low to intermediate pre-test probability of CAD, a diagnostic strategy where FFRct is determined after an inconclusive CCTA is cost-effective. Clinical trials investigating both sensitivity and specificity of FFRct, as well as QoL associated with the use of this technology in this setting are warranted.PMID:38051089 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2023.2285552
