Ambulance test could speed heart attack care, save millions

NCT ID NCT07252245

Summary

This study tests whether paramedics using a simple scoring system and a quick blood test in the ambulance can safely identify which chest pain patients need immediate heart center care versus those who can go to local hospitals. Researchers will compare this new approach to standard ambulance transport to see if it reduces healthcare costs while keeping patients just as safe. The trial involves about 1,048 adults with chest pain symptoms who are at moderate to high risk for a heart attack.
