A Novel Clinical Score for Differential Diagnosis Between Acute Myocarditis and Acute Coronary Syndrome – The SAlzburg MYocarditis (SAMY) Score.
Abstract
Acute myocarditis and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are important differential diagnoses in patients with new-onset chest pain. To date, no clinical score exists to support the differentiation between these two diseases. The aim of this study was to develop such a score to aid the physician in scenarios where discrimination between myocarditis and ACS appears difficult.
