Role of Spectral CT in the Diagnosis of Myocarditis/MINOCA in Patients Undergoing cardioCT Investigations for Acute Chest Pain
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
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).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- number of myocarditis or MINOCA diagnosed with Spectral CT — 1 week after examination
Diagnosis of the presence of myocarditis/MINOCA will be assessed.
