HEART vs EDACS Scores on Predicting Major Events Among Patients With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome at the Cardiac Emergency Department

This study concludes that HEART score has better sensitivity than EDACS in predicting MACE among suspected ACS patients at the cardiac ED. The HEART score provides the nurses with a quicker and more reliable predictor of MACE shortly after the arrival of the suspected ACS patients at the cardiac ED than the EDACS score. The study recommended the implementation of a HEART score in the cardiac ED for predicting MACE in suspected ACS patients. Follow up closely for high-risk patients to MACE. An educational program should be made for nurses about the implementation of the heart score in the cardiac ED.
