Key result
HEART score classifies ~60% of emergency department chest pain patients as high risk for ACS.
Why the study?
Fast and accurate chest pain risk stratification in the Emergency Department is critical to identify patients at risk of acute coronary syndrome and major cardiac events.
What is the distribution of ACS risk levels using the HEART score among patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency department?

What is the distribution of ACS risk levels using the HEART score among patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency department?
In a small cohort of emergency department patients with chest pain, the majority (60%) were classified as high risk for ACS using the HEART score.
HEART score aids ED chest pain triage; supports validation but leaves open need for prospective trials before practice change.
Background: Fast and accurate chest pain risk stratification in the Emergency Department (ED) is critical. The HEART score predicts the short-term incidence of major cardiac events (MACE) in this population and divides them into three risk categories. Our aim was to describe the chest pain population, to characterize the subset of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to assess the prognostic value of the Manchester triage system and the HEART score.Chest pain is a common symptom in all health care settings and may be due to a extensive variety of disease conditions. Some of those will be because of treatable causes, including musculoskeletal problems with favorable outcomes; others will be because of probably deadly life-threatening conditions, inclusive of acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Descriptive research design was adopted to conduct the study with( n=60) samples who met the inclusion criteria at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital. Samples were selected by convenience sampling Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. A total of 60 Samples who met the inclusion criteria is selected by using convenience sampling technique. After selecting the sample, the investigator introduced him-self and explained the purpose of the study to the participants. Informed consent was obtained from the participants after assured confidentiality. The demographic and clinical variables were collected by using multiple choice questionnaires. Assess the risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using HEART score immediately after receiving the chest pain patients with emergency. The data were collected, and score evaluation will take 10 -15 minutes after The data were tabulated and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics Result: The risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among patients with chest pain in emergency department. Study finding shows that out of 60 samples in risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among patients with chest pain in emergency department by using HEART Score 36(60%) had high risk, 13(21.7%) had intermediate risk and11(18.3%)had low risk. Conclusion: The chest pain is the most associate feature of major adverse cardiac events in the conditions. Chest pain is a common presentation at the Emergency Room. Rapid identification level of risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS)isacrucial component of thetriage. HEART Score is an efficient score in triaging acute chest pain patients at the Emergency Department

Babu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Chest pain (n=60). HEART score was evaluated on Risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Among 60 emergency department patients with chest pain, the HEART score categorized 60% as high risk, 21.7% as intermediate risk, and 18.3% as low risk for acute coronary syndrome.
