The primary objective will be to investigate the effect of the intervention on the proportion of patients with all-cause death or recurrent non-fatal type 1 and 4b Myocardial Infarction at one year.

An open, prospective, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial of CTCA in patients presenting to the Emergency Department or Medical Assessment Unit with suspected or confirmed acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in 30 NHS tertiary and district hospitals (with and without on-site coronary angiography facilities) with emergency departments, acute medical, radiology and cardiology services.
