ABSTRACT
Introduction:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual telephone advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) led chest pain clinic was set up because face-to-face clinic visits had ceased.Methods:
This retrospective cohort analysis compared the ANP virtual chest pain clinic to the face-to-face nurse specialist-led clinic.Results:
Autonomous nursing management was significantly higher in the virtual clinic, and significantly fewer patients were referred for functional testing. Coronary arterial disease (CAD) diagnosis did not differ.Conclusion:
ANP autonomy and experience enabled continued chest pain assessment and CAD diagnosis via a virtual telephone clinic.
