title: Acute chest pain evaluated by coronary CT angiography.
abstract: Most of my time these days (at least 26 weeks out of every year) is spent on an inpatient cardiology service. Patients are general cardiology patients, mostly admitted from our emergency department (ED). Approximately half of these patients have a principle diagnosis of acute chest pain.
