متن کاملA simple score for predicting coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain.
BACKGROUND We have previously derived a chest pain score by comparing those with and without coronary artery disease on angiography, which was subsequently validated in patients attending coronary angiography. AIM To test the predictive validity of the score prospectively in a more varied out-patient population, and to determine whether it had predictive validity in addition to exercise testi...
متن کاملPulmonary Arterial Enlargement is Associated With Acute Chest Pain in Patients Without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an underdiagnosed cause for chest pain in patients without significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Studies showed that enlarged pulmonary arterial (PA) and right ventricular chamber sizes correlate with the severity of PH. Therefore, we studied the association between chest pain, right ventricular dimensions (RVDs), and PA size on coronary coronary t...
متن کاملRuling out coronary heart disease in primary care patients with chest pain: a clinical prediction score
BACKGROUND Chest pain raises concern for the possibility of coronary heart disease. Scoring methods have been developed to identify coronary heart disease in emergency settings, but not in primary care. METHODS Data were collected from a multicenter Swiss clinical cohort study including 672 consecutive patients with chest pain, who had visited one of 59 family practitioners' offices. Using de...
متن کاملA modified HEART risk score in chest pain patients with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
OBJECTIVE To validate a modified HEART [History, Electrocardiograph (ECG), Age, Risk factors and Troponin] risk score in chest pain patients with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) in the emergency department (ED). METHODS This retrospective cohort study used a prospectively acquired database and chest pain patients admitted to the emergency department with ...
