Rapid accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in patients with non-traumatic chest pain within 1 h of admission.
Accurate diagnosis of impending acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients presenting at an emergency department with acute chest pain is essential for proper triage and treatment. We have developed an algorithm for the early diagnosis of AMI. ⋯ The classification procedure obtained allows accurate rapid and early diagnosis of AMI and could therefore be a valuable diagnostic aid to physicians of emergency medicine.
