Cost Efficiency of Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department with Chest Pain of Suspected Cardiac Origin and a Non-diagnostic Electrocardiogram

The assessment of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with suspected cardiac chest pain (CP) and a non-diagnostic electrocardiogram (EKG) is lengthy and costly.
