First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether using a risk score and a rapid blood test in the ambulance can help decide where to take patients with chest pain. About 1,048 adults at intermediate or high risk for a heart attack will be randomly assigned to either this new triage method or usual care. The goal is to see if the new approach is faster, cheaper, and just as safe.
