ReviewRapid Access Cardiology (RAC) Services Within a Large Tertiary Referral Centre-First Year in Review.
Rapid Access Cardiology (RAC) services are hospital co-located cardiologist-led outpatient clinics providing prompt assessment and management of chest pain. This service model is part of chest pain management in the United Kingdom. However, little data exists on RAC services in Australia. Our aim was to describe the introduction of RAC services to an Australian tertiary centre (utility, safety, and acceptability). ⋯ Outpatient RAC services are an accepted, effective and safe pathway for management of low-intermediate risk chest pain.
