Summary

This study will evaluate the ability of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), used as a first-line diagnostic tool in women with stable chest pain and low risk for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), to reduce the number of women requiring more than one diagnostic test to rule in or rule out CAD. Half of the participants will undergo CCTA as the first test to investigate stable chest pain, while the other half will undergo any test ordered by their family physician.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CCTA first approach without Cardiac LinkExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patient will undergo Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography as the first test, but Cardiac Link pathway will not be activated.
Group II: CCTA first approach with Cardiac LinkExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patient will undergo Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography as the first test and have Cardiac Link pathway activated for expedited cardiology referral.
Group III: Usual Care with Cardiac LinkActive Control2 Interventions
Patient will undergo the usual diagnostic test ordered by their family physician as the first test, and have Cardiac Link pathway activated for expedited cardiology referral.
Group IV: Usual Care without Cardiac LinkActive Control1 Intervention
Patient will undergo the usual diagnostic test ordered by their family physician as the first test, but Cardiac Link pathway will not be activated.
