.ACCinTouch and American_Heart have issued a set of data standards for chest pain and MI to accompany last year's guidelines for evaluation and diagnosis of chestpain.
"This is an appendix to the guidelines and a planned effort to try to harmonize and bring uniformity to the language applied," writing committee chair H.V."Skip" Anderson, MD, with UT Health Science Center, Houston, Texas, told"You want heart attack to mean the same thing in Miami Beach as in Western Pennsylvania, as in Oregon and Washington and every place in between," Anderson explained.
"We deliberately followed the plans contained in the new guideline and focused on potentially serious cardiovascular causes of chest pain as might be encountered in emergency departments," the writing group notes in the document. Instead, the new document divides chest pain syndromes into three categories:"cardiac,""possible cardiac" and"noncardiac" — again, in keeping with the chest pain guideline.
