Objective: To subjectively identify low-risk ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and triage this low-risk population to an intermediate level of care.
Background: Many patients with STEMI are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), however, a large portion do not merit ICU admission. We sought to examine whether, among post-STEMI patients admitted to the ICU, if an easily obtainable subjective scoring system could predict low-risk patients and safely triage them to an intermediate level of care.
