Funded Activity Summary

Coronary artery disease (narrowing of heart arteries) is the leading cause of death in Australia, and a serious cause of chest pain. This project is designed to determine the accuracy, safety and long-term outcomes of patients with chest pain investigated with the novel technique of computed tomography (CT) of the heart muscle and arteries, including an investigational technique of CT stress testing by injection of a pharmacological agent, which may be more accurate and safe than current tests.
