Key result
The HEART score provided excellent discrimination for 30-day major adverse coronary events, outperforming the TIMI score (C-statistic 0.83 vs 0.75; P<0.01).
Why the study?
Does the HEART score accurately predict 30-day MACE compared to the TIMI score in patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency department?

May aid low-risk chest pain discharge decisions; extends HEART validation to Asia-Pacific ED cohorts.
Observational (n=2,906)
Yes
Does the HEART score accurately predict 30-day MACE compared to the TIMI score in patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency department?
Effect estimate: C-statistic 0.83 (95% CI 0.81-0.85)
Absolute Event Rate: 0.83% vs 0.75%
p-value: p=< 0.01
The HEART score outperforms the TIMI score in predicting 30-day MACE in an Asia-Pacific emergency department population with chest pain, effectively identifying low-risk patients suitable for early discharge.
Six et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Chest pain (n=2,906). HEART score vs. TIMI score was evaluated on 30-day major adverse coronary events (MACE) (C-statistic 0.83, 95% CI 0.81-0.85, p=< 0.01). The HEART score provided excellent discrimination for 30-day major adverse coronary events, outperforming the TIMI score (C-statistic 0.83 vs 0.75; P<0.01).
