Improving Early Risk Stratification in Patients Presenting to Emergency Departments With Undifferentiated Chest Pain

Chinese University of Hong Kong·observational·Posted Feb 18, 2015·Updated Apr 15, 2021

In Brief

An observational study evaluating Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction score, routine blood test for hs-cTnT, and 1 other intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 602 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

In the management of adult chest pain patients presenting to an Emergency Department (ED) with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the combined use of a modified Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score and a modified HEART score with high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) to rule out major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in 30-days.

Interventions

Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction scoreother

An English- and Cantonese-speaking research nurse obtained the TIMI scores which consists of seven variables from each eligible patient.

routine blood test for hs-cTnTbiological

Patient had routine venipuncture blood taking for hs-cTnT measurement in the central laboratory of the hospital. Normal level of hs-cTnT is below 14ng/L.

HEART scoreother

The modified HEART score of each patient was determined retrospectively by a research assistant.
