Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Chest Pain
  • Age: 55 years - 100 years
  • Gender: All

This study investigates different heart tests used to diagnose heart conditions. The tests include exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), stress echocardiogram (echo), stress nuclear test, and a newer test called CT based coronary angiography (CTA). These tests help doctors see how well the heart is working and if there are any problems.

Participants will undergo one or more of these heart tests. The exercise ECG involves walking on a treadmill while the heart's activity is recorded. The stress echo uses sound waves to create pictures of the heart while it's beating fast. The stress nuclear test involves a small amount of radioactive material to see the heart's blood flow. The CTA uses a CT scanner to take detailed pictures of the heart's blood vessels.

  • Who can participate: The study is open to adults aged 18 and older who are undergoing evaluation for heart conditions. Participants should not have any contraindications to the heart tests involved.
  • Study details: Participants will be assigned to undergo one or more heart tests.
