Description of intervention(s) / exposure
ASPECT: The Triage multi-marker panel consists of measurements of Troponin I, Creatine Kinase MB (CKMB) and myoglobin levels using a point of care testing device for blood samples taken from people who present with probable ischaemic chest pain to the Emergency Department. A sample is tested on arrival and again 2 hours later.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a prospective observational study of the diagnostic utility of the "Triage" multi-marker point of care blood testing device to measure the levels of the cardiac markers Troponin I, Creatine Kinase MB and myoglobin:
- in people presenting to the Emergency Deprtment with chest pain of probable caridac origin. Blood samples will be taken and tested on arrival and again at 2 hours. Participants will undergo risk evaluation by a means of a set series of questions. Participants will recieve a phone call at 45 days, 6 months and 1 year post discharge to record any major adverse cardiac event (MACE) they may have experienced.
