N-terminal Pro B-type Natriuretic Peptide (Nt-proBNP) Versus Exercise Test for Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain

NCT00493844 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 320

Last updated 2016-10-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators' objective is to compare a new strategy combining clinical history and NT-proBNP levels versus the usual care, consisting of early exercise testing, for decision making in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute chest pain, non-diagnostic electrocardiogram and normal troponin. The investigators hypothesised that the new strategy combining clinical risk score and NT-proBNP will reduce the number of hospitalisations without increasing the number of events during the follow-up.
