Summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, investigator-initiated, randomized controlled trial aiming to reduce the percentage of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) patients admitted to the cardiac emergency department (ED) by performing the modified HEART score by emergency medical transport (EMT) personnel.

Official title: A Multicentre Randomized Controlled Trial to Improve the accUracy of Referrals to the emerGency departmEnt of patieNts With chesT Pain by Using the Modified HEART Score in Emergency Medical Transport (URGENT 2.0)

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

modified HEART score (including POC hs cTnI analysis)

The modified HEART score was developed in 2007 and has been validated to stratify the risk of short-term adverse cardiac events in patients with chest pain at the ED. Negative predictive value (NPV) of the modified HEART score for ACS as well as positive predictive value (PPV) for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 6 weeks after presentation is high. The modified HEART score is an acronym for history, ECG, age, risk factors and troponin at arrival.The components can be rated 0,1 or 2 points each and result in a total score between 0 and 10.
