Abstract

Studies have proposed the history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors (HEAR) score to risk-stratify patients with chest pain in the emergency department. This paper assessed the utility of the HEAR score for ambulatory patients with chest pain. The findings demonstrate patients with low and high HEAR scores can be safely managed in the outpatient setting.

Keywords: HEAR score; ambulatory; chest pain; risk stratification.
