ABSTRACT

Multidetector computed tomography is a noninvasive technique to visualize the coronary arteries and detect in them the pre­sence of lesions. Acquisition times are very short. Computed tomography allows early diagnosis of arteriosclerosis present a study that contrast administration is required in the circulatory system. In patients with chest pain suspected of acute coronary syndrome, Multidetector computed tomography immediate help to enlist patients more quickly, reducing the cost of care. Nur­sing care in the study are fundamental to the success of the tes­ting and treatment.
