This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study compares two ways of diagnosing blocked heart arteries in people who have had a heart attack or unstable chest pain. One group will receive a coronary CT angiography scan (a detailed imaging test), while the other group will receive the traditional invasive catheterization procedure (where a thin tube is threaded into the heart arteries). The researchers want to see if the CT scan can do the job just as well while being safer and more comfortable for patients.
The traditional catheterization procedure carries some risks, including bleeding and infection, and can be uncomfortable. If a CT scan can reliably detect blocked arteries in acute heart situations, it could reduce these complications, make the experience less stressful for patients, speed up treatment decisions, and lower healthcare costs.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to either receive a CT scan of your heart arteries or the standard catheterization procedure. The CT scan is a quick, non-invasive imaging test where you lie still while a machine takes detailed pictures of your heart. If assigned to catheterization, you will undergo the traditional procedure where doctors thread a thin tube to your heart arteries. You will be monitored and followed up to track your health outcomes and recovery over time.
