"This post is about a paper we published today in Heart – the result of more than 9 years of work – phew! Here’s a link to the paper (open access), which reports how we derived and externally validated the Manchester Acute Coronary Syndromes (MACS) decision rule. The MACS rule may help us to exclude ACS using a single blood test in the ED, while also ‘ruling in’ some patients and risk stratifying those who can’t yet have the diagnosis ‘ruled out’."
