Background/Introduction The use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in managing high-risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients is increasingly common. Yet, its role remains unvalidated in this context, posing challenges to traditional clinical decision-making algorithms. Physicians, accustomed to a hierarchical and structured approach involving symptom assessment, electrocardiograms, and biomarkers for deciding on the necessity of invasive coronary angiography (ICA), now face dilemmas when CCTA results challenge established diagnostic pathways and contradict clinical decisions based on usual criteria. Meanwhile, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) which processes information in a way fundamentally different from human clinical reasoning, has been shown to aid decision-making in cardiovascular medicine. Yet, it has not been tested in this acute setting.
