When to use: Use HEART Score in the emergency department to risk-stratify undifferentiated chest pain patients and guide disposition. A score of 0–3 supports safe early discharge with a sensitivity for MACE of ~99% when combined with a negative initial troponin. It outperforms TIMI and GRACE scores in the ED chest pain context.
