About this study
Official title: The BEACON Registry: Best Expert Agreement for Care of Occult MI Nationally
The purpose of this registry is to assess and improve the process of care and health outcomes of patients presenting to the Emergency Department with chest pain suspected to be of cardiac origin. The study will identify which methods facilitate the diagnosis and risk stratification of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non STEMI, including patients with occult myocardial infarction (MI), and result in a shorter time to definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Read the detailed description
The BEACON Registry is a multi-center data collection and follow-up registry. Participating Sites will collect information on patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with chest pain. The purpose of the BEACON Registry is to evaluate the impact of new technologies, practice patterns and initiatives on patient time to diagnosis, patient time to treatment, patient survival and overall economics.
