About

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.
