Brief summary

This is a prospective observational study of the diagnostic utility of an accelerated diagnostic protocol using a central laboratory Troponin I in people presenting to the Emergency Deprtment with chest pain of probable caridac origin. A blood sample will be taken and tested on arrival and again at 2 hours. Participants will undergo risk evaluation by a means of a set series of questions. Patients will be followed-up to determine outcomes at 30 days and 1 year after presentation

Interventions

A risk assessment will be made using the TIMI score , ECG and measurements of central lab Troponin I taken from people who present with probable ischaemic chest pain to the Emergency Department. A sample is tested on arrival and again 2 hours later. ADAPT and ASPECT both started in Christchurch in November 2007 final recruitment for ASPECT occured in Singapore in July 2010; recruitment for ADAPT finished in Brisbane February 2011
