In this pilot study we investigate the use of these extra diagnostic tools. We also will use the results to see if these tools can diagnose cardiac events in patients that would otherwise be sent home

Primary outcome
Extra necessary submissions to the hospital because of the extra diagnostic
tools.
Secondary outcome
Prevention events
Background summary
People above 55 years of age often have ECG changes, sometimes because of
events, that were earlier not known.
Possibly we can detect these events by supplying the General Practitioner with
extra diagnostic tools, the ECG and bio-assays ( bio-markers).
Study objective
In this pilot study we investigate the use of these extra diagnostic tools. We
also will use the results to see if these tools can diagnose cardiac events in
patients that would otherwise be sent home
Study design
Patients that come to the GP with complaints possibly compatible with angina
will be seen by the GP in the office. The diagnosis and other possible causes
will be noted as well as the further strategy. (care as usual)
Afterwards the patient will be offered the extra diagnostic tools: a tele-ECG ,
judged by a cardiologist , and a blood-sample to check the bio-markers.
Study burden and risks
No risks, 3 minutes to make the ECG, 1 blood sample
