Validation of a high-risk versus low-risk referral model in suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome

چکیده
Background In future Denmark the majority of acute admissions passes through Emergency and Acute Admission Departments (EAAD). For patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) considerable improvements have been achieved through the Cardiac Care Units (CCU). Among patients with acute chest pain only a minority have an ACS. This raises the question if it is possible to separate patients with a high-risk of ACS directly to a CCU, and a low-risk patients to EAAD. The aim of this study was to describe how such a risk stratification would perform.

AIMS Patients attending hospital with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), non-diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG), and negative troponin present a diagnostic dilemma for admitting physicians. We sought to determine the clinical and economic impact of stress echocardiography (SEcho) when compared with exercise ECG (ExECG) in the assessment of these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Following p...
