About this document
HEART Pathway for Low-Risk Chest Pain by Wendy Li is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The HEART pathway is a clinical tool that effectively identifies low-risk patients with chest pain for early discharge from the emergency department, demonstrating a low rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Studies show that its implementation can increase early discharge rates, reduce hospitalizations, and maintain a high negative predictive value for MACE. Overall, the HEART pathway supports changing current guidelines to minimize unnecessary stress tests for low-risk patients.
