- abstract
- Background: Chest pain is a common reason for EMS transport. The modified History, ECG, Age, Risk factors, Troponin (mHEART) score is validated in the Emergency Department but has yet to be prospectively tested in the prehospital setting. The objective of this study is to establish the feasibility and test the performance of prehospital mHEART using point-of-care (POC) troponin (cTn).
