| Popis: | Australian guidelines recommend prompt evaluation of patients presenting to emergency departments with chest pain, found to be low risk for acute coronary syndromes, and cardiologist-led Rapid Access Chest Pain Clinics (RACPC) have been proposed as a model to provide such care. Initial Australian experience of RACPCs suggests excellent short-term outcomes, and that they are cost-beneficial, though little data exists examining longer-term outcomes. The present study therefore examines such longer-term outcomes to beyond 5 years following presentation to an RACPC in an Australian tertiary metropolitan centre. |
