Clinician Perception of Risk As a Barrier to Implementation of a High-sensitivity Troponin Accelerated Diagnostic Protocol

Conclusions: ED clinicians accustomed to the HEART Pathway demonstrated limited willingness to discharge patients from the ED categorized as moderate risk by the HEART score despite simultaneous classification as low risk by the 0-/1-hour HST-ADP. Willingness to discharge was higher with lower HEART scores but not affected by the presence of CAD and did not vary between clinician types.
