CARE-CP (Testing a Cardiovascular Ambulatory Rapid Evaluation for Patients With Chest Pain )
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to determine if rapid outpatient evaluation vs hospitalization management is the best strategy (based on patient-centered measures and safe, equitable, and efficient resource use) for evaluating patients with acute chest pain who are at moderate risk for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients will be randomized in the Emergency Department to either an outpatient evaluation (CARE-CP) or hospitalization evaluation for their symptoms.
