Endothelial function predicts 1-year adverse clinical outcome in patients hospitalized in the emergency department chest pain unit
2017, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The principal challenge in these patients is to identify those with coronary artery disease (CAD). Early diagnosis allows effective treatment, while premature discharge may have disastrous consequences for both patient and doctor: in the United States, between 2% and 5% of patients with acute myocardial infarctions are discharged from the ED, and 20% of malpractice claims against emergency physicians relate to the management of acute coronary syndrome [2]. Thus, a convenient non-invasive tool should useful to stratify the patients' risk.

2013, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Most strategies use a combination of cardiac biomarkers, short-term observation, diagnostic imaging, and provocative stress testing. An increasing number of high-quality centers now use structured protocols, checklists, or critical pathways to screen patients with suspected MI or UA (93–105). It does not appear to matter whether the institution designates itself a chest pain center; rather, it is the multifaceted, multidisciplinary, standardized, and structured approach to the problem that appears to provide clinical, cost-effective benefit (106,107).
