    Abstract Chest pain accounts for approximately 6% of Emergency Department (ED) attendances and is the most common reason for emergency hospital admission. For many years, our approach to diagnosis has required patients to stay in hospital for at least 6-12 h to undergo serial biomarker testing. As less than one fifth of the patients undergoing investigation actually has an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), there is tremendous potential to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions. Recent advances in diagnostic technology have improved the efficiency of care pathways. Decision aids such as the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score and the History, Electrocardiogram, Age, Risk factors and Troponin (HEART) score enable rapid 'rule out' of ACS within hours of patients arriving in the ED. With high sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays, approximately one third of patients can have ACS 'ruled out' with a single blood test, and up to two thirds could have an acute myocardial infarction 'ruled out' with a second sample taken after as little as 1 h. Building on those recent advances, this paper presents an overview of the principles behind the development of the Troponin-only Manchester Acute Coronary Syndromes (T-MACS) decision aid. This clinical prediction model could be used to 'rule out' and 'rule in' ACS following a single blood test and to calculate the probability of ACS for every patient. The future potential of this approach is then addressed, including practical applications of artificial intelligence, shared decision making, near-patient testing and personalized medicine.

    Abstract Objective: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are a diagnostic challenge for Emergency Medicine (EM) clinicians. To help clinicians assess patients with non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTEACS), clinical decision aids have been developed, combining clinical history, cardiac troponin and the electrocardiograph (ECG). These models ask the clinician to subjectively assess the ECG variable, introducing reliability issues. We set out to derive an ECG model that would provide an objective measure for ischaemia using non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) as the primary outcome.
    Methods: We derived an ECG model in a retrospective Emergency Department cohort using logistic regression with a primary outcome of NSTEMI. All patients presented with signs or symptoms suggestive of an ACS. The model was validated in a multi-centre prospective Emergency Department cohort.
    Results: Derivation included 1246 patients, 156 (12.5%) had the primary outcome; validation included 1139 patients, 170 (14.9%) had the primary outcome. Derivation demonstrated Sn 25.6% (95% CI 19.0-33.2), Sp 96.3% (95% CI 95.0-97.4), PPV 50.0% (95% CI 40.0-60.0) and NPV 90.1% (95% CI 89.2-90.9). Validation demonstrated Sn 23.5% (95% CI 17.4% to 30.6%), Sp 95.2% (95% CI 93.6% to 96.4%), PPV 46.0% (95% CI 36.6% to 55.7%) and NPV 87.6% (95% CI 86.7% to 88.5%).
    Conclusion: We have derived and validated an ECG model that is highly specific for NSTEMI and may be suitable for integration into existing clinical decision aids.

    Abstract Study objective: We evaluate current evidence for the diagnostic accuracy and safety of the Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS) for patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with possible acute coronary syndromes.
    Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for publications reporting data on the EDACS score. No date restrictions were used. Two independent researchers assessed studies for eligibility, bias, and quality. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events occurring within 30 days. Heterogeneity was assessed and data were pooled by meta-analysis using a random-effects model.
    Results: Eight diagnostic test accuracy studies including 11,578 patients and 1 randomized controlled trial including 558 patients were eligible for inclusion. On meta-analysis, the EDACS score had a pooled sensitivity of 96.1% (95% confidence interval 89.6% to 98.6%) and specificity of 61.1% (95% confidence interval 55.5% to 66.3%). A total of 55.0% of patients (n=6,370/11,578) were identified as low risk and eligible for early discharge. Sixty-two patients (0.54%) identified as low risk had an outcome of major adverse cardiac events within 30 days.
    Conclusion: The EDACS score identified greater than 50% of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome as suitable for discharge after serial troponin sampling during 2 hours. Sensitivity for major adverse cardiac events was relatively high overall and may be acceptable to clinicians.

    Abstract Should you use the 1 hour algorithm, the High-Sensitivity Troponin in the Evaluation of patients with suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (High-STEACS) algorithm or should you incorporate clinical features by adopting the HEART pathway or Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain (EDACS) decision aid? In this issue, Stopyra et al 7 used real-world data to compare the accuracy of the HEART pathway and the EDACS decision aid for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within 30 days (REF) What is an acceptable risk of major adverse cardiac event in chest pain patients soon after discharge from the emergency department?: a clinical survey
