Using HEART2 score to risk stratify chest pain patients in the Emergency Department: an observational study

Abstract: Background A significant number of chest pain patients had previous cardiac imaging tests (CIT) performed before being presented to the Emergency Department (ED). The HEART (history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, and troponin) score has been used to risk-stratify chest pain patients in the ED, but not particularly for patients with CIT performed. We aim to modify the current HEART score with the addition of most recent CIT findings (referred to as HEART2 score), to predict a 30-day majo… Show more

“…To improve upon the discriminatory power of the original HEART score or to circumvent some of its limitations, a number of variants of the HEART score have been reported over the years. Table 2 [7,10,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] summarizes the variants described here; HEAR score, modified HEART score, HEART pathway, HEART-2 score, and HEARTS 3 score.…”

“…Lastly, Schrader et al seek to improve the original HEART score in the patient population with recurrent chest pain that have done prior cardiac imaging tests (CITs) [ 20 ]. However, they desired that the modified score would still retain its accuracy of risk stratifying ED patients in the absence of CIT.…”

“…NHFA/CSANZ guidelines recommend that further diagnostic imaging be performed on moderate risk patients to provide prognostic information, and that this testing be done during or shortly after discharge from ED 6 with no specific timing suggested. This moderate risk group is, however, a heterogenous group of patients with a risk of MACE somewhere between 2% and 8%, 8–10 10%–20% of whom will already have had previous cardiac imaging, 9 and trying to further delineate risk among the subgroups within this cohort is complex. As such, various management strategies are employed in this group and many of these patients are admitted from the ED for short stay inpatient management, including changes in medical therapy or functional testing.…”
