Dome help: It will show heart structure and function, but you are too young for it to show early coronary disease, which would be very unusual at ur age, unless u have a family hx of very premature cor disease. The tests u had pretty much evaluated everything. Since ur symptom is chest pain a regular stress test may be even more helpful than the chest CT, especially if it is a NON contrast CT. Good luck.
