HEART Score Calculator
Calculate the HEART score to risk-stratify chest pain patients for major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
How to Use the HEART Score Calculator
- Score the patient's history of chest pain (0–2).
- Score the ECG findings (0–2).
- Score age category (0–2).
- Score cardiac risk factors (0–2).
- Score initial troponin level (0–2).
Casi d'Uso
- •Chest pain risk stratification in the ED.
- •Identifying low-risk patients for early discharge.
- •Guiding invasive cardiac workup decisions.
Formula
HEART = History(0-2) + ECG(0-2) + Age(0-2) + Risk factors(0-2) + Troponin(0-2). Score 0–10.
Domande Frequenti
What is the HEART score?
The HEART score is a clinical risk stratification tool for patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency department. It predicts the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 6 weeks.
How is the HEART score interpreted?
Score 0–3: Low risk (<2% MACE) — consider early discharge. Score 4–6: Moderate risk (12–17%) — admit for observation. Score 7–10: High risk (>50%) — early invasive strategy.
