Summary

In the management of adult chest pain patients presenting to an Emergency Department (ED) with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the combined use of a modified Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score and a modified HEART score with high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) to rule out major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in 30-days.

Conditions

  • Acute Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction score

An English- and Cantonese-speaking research nurse obtained the TIMI scores which consists of seven variables from each eligible patient.

BIOLOGICAL

routine blood test for hs-cTnT

Patient had routine venipuncture blood taking for hs-cTnT measurement in the central laboratory of the hospital. Normal level of hs-cTnT is below 14ng/L.

OTHER

HEART score

The modified HEART score of each patient was determined retrospectively by a research assistant.
