Article Synopsis
- The HEART Score is a decision support tool for emergency departments to assess low-risk chest pain patients, and this study explores its use by emergency medical services (EMS) in a prehospital environment.
- Researchers developed a modified prehospital version, called the preHEART Score, to improve decision-making regarding patient transport to hospitals.
- The preHEART Score showed better predictive value for adverse cardiac events compared to both the original HEART Score and individual troponin tests, indicating its effectiveness in assessing patient risk before hospital arrival.*
