PROMISE trial

The PROMISE Trial was a major clinical study designed to assess different ways of diagnosing heart disease in patients with stable chest pain. Researchers compared the effectiveness of standard tests, like angiography, against newer imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scans. The goal was to determine which method better predicts heart problems while reducing unnecessary procedures and ensuring patient safety. The trial's findings help guide doctors in choosing the best diagnostic approach, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes in heart disease diagnosis.
