Full description

Registry of an interventional Study-proved Strategy (BIC-8) using Copeptin and Troponin for the Early Rule-Out of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in Patients with Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and a low-to intermediate risk profile.

Primary objective:

To monitor the safety of the early rule-out strategy using combined testing of copeptin and troponin at admission of patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of ACS and a low- to intermediate risk profile, who are discharged or moved to another hospital after testing copeptin and troponin negative (defined as copeptin below 10 pmol/l and cardiac troponin below 99th percentile URL).

Secondary objectives:

• To monitor routine application of the early rule-out strategy, patient characteristics, risk profile of all patients tested for copeptin and troponin at admission, irrespective of their biomarker test result
• To monitor diagnoses, clinical course and outcome of all patients tested for copeptin and troponin at admission

Enrollment: 2,256 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Admission to the Emergency Department or CPU with signs and symptoms consistent with acute coronary syndrome
• Low-to intermediate risk profile (GRACE-score below 140 and a low- to intermediate likelihood of ACS as judged by the treating physician)
• Patients eligible for the early rule-out strategy using combined copeptin and troponin testing at admission, irrespective of biomarker test results and disposition decision
• full-aged patient
