Official Title: Acute Rule Out of Non ST-segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome in the (Pre)Hospital Setting by HEART Score Assessment and a Single Point-of-care Troponin
Brief Summary: Patients with chest pain suspected for non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are routinely transferred to the emergency department (ED). A point-of-care (POC) troponin measurement might enable ambulance paramedics to identify low-risk patients in whom ED evaluation is not necessary. The ARTICA trial aims to assess the healthcare cost reduction and safety of a pre-hospital rule-out strategy using a single POC troponin measurement.
