Intervention
Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. Number of patients detected by the test (tele ECG and biomarkers);
2. Number of patients not admitted to the hospital because of test results.
Secondary outcome
Morbidity ischemic heart disease in patients admitted to the hospital after detection by the test (tele ECG and biomarkers).
Background summary
In this trial we examine the influence of the use of tele cardiology and bedside biomarkers (Fatty Acid Binding Proteine and Troponine I) in recognizing patients with ischemic heart disease. We aim to include 200 patients in the first part of the study. In this fase there will be contact with a cardiologist in all cases. In the second part of the study (also aim 200 patients) the general practitioner will make his/her decision only with the use of the tele ECG and biomarkers.
Study objective
With the use of tele-cardiology and bedside biomarkers more patients with ischemic heart disease will be recognized compared to care as usual and unnecessary hospital admissions will be prevented.
Study design
1. 01-06-2011: End of inclusion of first 200 patients;
2. 01-12-2011: End of inclusion of second 200 patients.
Intervention
In this study we apply a portable ECG device: Mortara Eli 10. It makes a 10 leads ECG wich can be send to the hospital or cariologist nearby with the use of a cellular Phone application.
Biomarkers: We use 2 bedside biomarkers: FABP (fatty acid binding proteine) and Troponine I: Cardiodetect combi test (immunoassay ). The investigator can read the result of this test 15 minutes after the application of 3 drops of blood. In addition we will use the Troponine T by taking a sample of venous blood.
Inclusion criteria
Patients presented to the general practitioner with symptoms compatible with ischemic heart disease.
Exclusion criteria
1. Age <18 jears;
2. Shock.
