Clinical Context

We think this might be relevant to the clinical guidance for HEART Score — Chest Pain Risk Stratification.

When to Use

When to Use

Adult patients ≥ 18 years presenting with chest pain to Emergency or Internal Medicine

Stratify risk of 30-day MACE (death, MI, or revascularisation)

Guide decision between early discharge vs admission and invasive workup

Combine with serial troponins (at 0h and 2–3h) for optimal accuracy

HEART Score + Troponin Algorithm

HEART score alone is not sufficient. Always combine with two serial high-sensitivity troponin measurements. A HEART 0–3 + two negative hs-troponins = 30-day MACE risk < 2% → safe early discharge.
