AI-Summary
What this Trial Is About
It is a spontaneous, observational cross-sectional and single-center imaging (CT and MRI) study, coupled with clinical-laboratory data. Patients with acute chest pain with low/intermediate probability of coronary artery disease, ECG and/or troponin not diagnostic or altered according to the current "standards of care" used in the ED/Department (ESC Guidelines 2020), will be enrolled consecutively and will undergo CT examinations by means of "Spectral" CT technology. CT investigation will allow to identify any non-myocarditis causes of acute chest pain and by means of spectral analysis of CT images it will try to identify signs suggestive of damage myocardial (such as ECV, LIE, hyperemia and edema).

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Age 18 years or older
- Acute chest pain with indication for triple-rule-out CT or coronary CT examination
- Low to intermediate probability of acute coronary artery disease
- ECG and/or troponin results not diagnostic or altered
- Ability to provide informed consent
