Summary

Most patients presenting to the emergency department with chest discomfort have a nonischemic ECG and biomarkers of myocardial necrosis within normal limits. These patients are routinely admitted to hospital because of diagnostic uncertainty for occult MI or ischaemia.

Acute myocardial ischemia is associated with acute mycardial dysfunction We tested a non-invasive plethysmographic arterial pressure change index of myocardial performance (dP/dt) that could be added to the diagnostic triage of ischaemia in the ER avoiding unnecessary admissions.
