Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

thoracic pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consulting the emergency room. Chest pain can be a sign of different pathologies with a wide range of severity, from life-threatening aortic dissection or myocardial infarction to chest pain during an anxiety attack. Efficient triage of patients is therefore a crucial issue for emergency physicians in order not to ignore an acute coronary event requiring early and specific management.

The investigators seek to evaluate whether a diagnostic strategy based on a thoracic CT scan to rule out coronary calcifications and a single troponin assay can exclude an acute coronary event with sufficient accuracy compared to usual management.
