“…56 When used for acute chest pain syndromes, costeffectiveness of rest SPECT MPI has been shown in several studies 27,67,72,78 including a controlled, multicenter trial with true cost data. 21 Similarly, dobutamine-atropine echocardiography 70 as well as contrast echocardiography 65,79 have both been shown to be cost effective in ED patients by reducing admissions, length of stay, and downstream resource utilization.…”

“…A larga utilização da cintilografia miocárdica imediata de repouso é limitada pela indisponibilidade do método nas salas de emergência, pela demora na sua realização após um episódio de dor torácica e pelos seus custos. Entretanto, alguns grupos têm preconizado a realização do exame para pacientes com média ou baixa probabilidade de IAM, já que um exame negativo praticamente afasta este diagnóstico 45,93 , permitindo a liberação imediata destes pacientes com conseqüente redução dos custos hospitalares 94,95 . 3.4.3 Ecocardiograma -O papel do ecocardiograma de repouso na avaliação de pacientes na sala de emergência com dor torácica se alicerça em poucos estudos publicados.…”
