ClinConnect Summary

Hypothesis: MCG can accurately, and in real-time, identify an acute coronary syndrome for patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain and is faster than current practice.

Aims, purpose, or objectives: Our primary objective is to measure the diagnostic accuracy of the Mesuron Avalon-H90 MCG device to detect ACS (unstable angina, NSTEMI) in Emergency Department patients who present with acute chest pain when compared to the current goal standard.

Our secondary objectives are as follows:

* To study the ability of MCG to rule in or rule out ACS in real-time. We will ...
