T-Wave Alternans in Patients With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome

Completed

Conditions studied: Chest Pain, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Acute Myocardial Infarction

In brief

The purpose of this study is to measure T-Wave Alternans (TWA) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Researchers are blinded to clinical TWA measurements. The investigators will then try to determine if T-Wave alternans correlates with clinical outcome of patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. During routine care of the patient, the T Wave Alternans is measured.
