NCT01703156
Brief Summary:
A large number of patients are diagnosed with low risk ACS, and these individuals are at significant cardiovascular risk. Though guidelines recommend stress testing to manage low risk ACS patients, evidence supporting this recommendation is not based on trials examining this population. A well-designed, randomized trial is warranted to determine if stress testing is useful in managing low risk ACS. If medical therapy alone is equivalent as the investigators hypothesize, healthcare expenditures could be reduced and patients may not be exposed to the harms associated with more invasive cardiac testing such as coronary angiography.
