I think invasive Cardiologists do amazing stuff. I've seen plenty of people who would be otherwise dead or severely damaged - go home in a day or two, after having angioplasty, practically intact. I agree. And I would have been very happy to have been the patient that you made the right decision about. But I think the existence of the new 64 slice scanners, like the GE lightspeed, give a lot of ER's a chance to make sure if they are in doubt, with a very quick CTA. A $1700 slightly invasive procedure which takes about 30 minutes, vs a very invasive 25K angioplasty, which can leave lasting bad effects.
