HEART Pathway; low-risk determined by HEAR score <4, and no known CAD, and no acute ischemic ECG changes, and no troponin elevation at 0 or 3 hours. Non-low-risk determined by HEAR score ≥4, or known CAD, or an acute ischemic ECG change, or a troponin elevation at 0 or 3 hours.
HEAR Score; low risk determined by a HEAR score <4, and no known CAD, and no acute ischemic ECG changes. Non-low-risk determined by HEAR score ≥4, or known CAD, or an acute ischemic ECG change.
Troponin; low-risk determined by no troponin elevation at 0 or 3 hours. Non-low-risk determined by a troponin elevation at 0 or 3 hours.
CAD= coronary artery disease, ECG= electrocardiogram, PPV= positive predictive value, NPV=negative predictive value, +LR= positive likelihood ratio, -LR= negative likelihood ratio
