Eagle’s Eye View: ED Patients With ‘Low Risk’ Chest Pain Often Deferred Future Testing
In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at recent research found in ACC’s new expert decision pathway for postpartum cardiovascular care. He then offers insights from the ACC Chest Pain - MI Registry examining ‘low risk’ chest pain and its evaluation in the emergency departments. Next, a discussion of how negative patient outcomes were associated with late pericardial effusion post-left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device implantation. Finally, Dr. Eagle summarizes the ALLEVIATE-HF trial that explored heart failure (HF) risk detection with an insertable cardiac monitor paired with a centrally coordinated nurse-led diuretic intervention
