Summary

This study tests a new, faster blood test for heart attacks in the emergency room. The goal is to see if using this quick test can safely rule out a heart attack and get patients discharged sooner than the current standard lab test. About 1,500 adults with chest pain will be randomly assigned to either the new rapid test or the usual testing method. If successful, this could reduce ER crowding and improve patient care.
