Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in medication regimen. [ Time Frame: 7 days, 30 days, 6, 12, and 24 months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The purpose of this outcome is to measure the impact the test the patient has been randomized too has on medical management.
- Change in CAD risk profile (blood pressure, lipid profile, weight, and HgbA1C [ Time Frame: 7 days, 30 days, 6, 12, and 24 months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The purpose of this outcome is to measure the impact the test the patient has been randomized too has on their CAD risk profile.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Time to discharge from hospital [ Time Frame: 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- All-cause mortality [ Time Frame: 7 days, 30 days, 6, 12, and 24 months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]This measure is to ascertain if CCTA and stress testing can be used safely as the initial test in patients admitted to the hospital with chest pain.
- Cardiovascular mortality [ Time Frame: 7 days, 30 days, 6, 12, and 24 months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]This measure is to ascertain if CCTA and stress testing can be used safely as the initial test in patients admitted to the hospital with chest pain.
- Non-fatal myocardial infarction [ Time Frame: 7 days, 30 days, 6, 12, and 24 months. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]This measure is to ascertain if CCTA and stress testing can be used safely as the initial test in patients admitted to the hospital with chest pain.

Detailed Description:
Currently, physicians can either choose a stress test or a CT scan of the heart to evaluate patients admitted with with chest pain. Very little is known about which test provides the best information to physicians, positively impacts patients medical care, and decreases future hospital admissions and testing. To study this the investigators are randomizing patients admitted to our hospital with chest pain to a stress test or coronary CT angiography. The investigators will then follow these patients for a 2 year period.
