Figure 2 Potential Applications for Chest Pain
Patients with an ischemic equivalent, consisting of symptoms associated with CAD or ECG findings, were divided based on the likelihood of CAD. If patients had an intermediate or high likelihood for CAD, RNI was appropriate. RNI was also appropriate for patients at low likelihood if they were unable to exercise or had an uninterpretable ECG. For patients with a suspected ACS, RNI was appropriate irrespective of the TIMI score or whether or not their troponin levels were elevated.
