Aims: To prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of a chest pain pathway at Green Lane Hospital.
Methods: Between August 1999 and March 2000, patients with non-traumatic chest discomfort considered to be possibly ischaemic were assessed by history, physical examination, baseline electrocardiographic findings and point of care troponin T tests. Those considered not to be high risk entered the pathway which included repeat cardiac markers and electrocardiograms at 6-8 hours, followed by optional stress testing.
