pain who have a low to moderate risk of heart disease.

And to also determine if the use of CCTA is more cost effective (cost less) than the current
standards of care treatments. To determine if patients who present to the emergency room
w/low to moderate probability of having an ACS prefer CCTA-based care compared to standard
algorithm based care.
