PREACH. I’ve been an inpatient cardiac nurse for 13 years and seen way too many young healthy patients have a life changing stroke after a cath they didn’t need because they had a false positive stress test for their GERD. Thank you for sharing this.
The H E A R T score could be 4 highly suspicious pain 3 risk factors with smoking a super risk . Moderate Risk . Also let us say he wants to go to a GYM to lose weight and also wants to stop smoking ? The one year risk in a smoker with a bout of chest pain and hypertension places him at a Ten Year risk 5-15 % .
Hi Amal, when faced with pt like these low risk in A&E do we send home? Or admit for further investigation? Have been faced with this kind of situation.... thanks in advance
