This study aims to exclude the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with a single troponin value in patients with appropriate clinical evaluation and electrocardiography (ECG) Materials and Methods: Among the patients who were followed up with a pre-diagnosis of AMI and for whom a HEART score was calculated, patients whose high sensitive troponin I result was found below the limit of detection (LoD) value and who were discharged is included in study. All patients were contacted on the 30th day of discharge. The status of "major adverse cardiac events" (MACE-30) in the last 30 days was questioned. Results: The HEART score of 122 patients (73.1%) in the study was found to be at low risk while 45 (26.9%) as moderate. MACE-30 developed in only 5 patients (3%). Of the 5 patients who developed Mace; The HEART score of 3 (60%) was determined as 5, whereas the heart score of 2 (40%) was 6. p <0.001. It was observed that no mace was detected in any patient with a low risk HEART score (p <0.001). The cut off value for the heart score was found to be ≤4 (p <0,001) while the cut off value for age was found to be ≤69 (p <0,001). Conclusion: We think that patients presenting to the emergency with chest pain, a troponin value below LoD and a low HEART score can be discharged from the emergency department with a single troponin.}, number={4}
