Description

In this episode of the Heart podcast, Digital Media Editor, Dr James Rudd is joined by Professor David Newby from Edinburgh University. They discuss the landmark SCOT-HEART trial, which demonstrated that a CT-guided investigation strategy for chest pain could reduce future myocardial infarction risk. How might this be the case? What does it mean for future guidelines? And should we ditch the treadmill test?
