Abstract
We report a case series of three low to intermediate risk chest pain patients who
presented to the emergency department and were managed as outpatients via the Cellular
Outpatient Twelve-Lead Telemetry with Emergency Response (COTTER™). This technology
allows for certain chest pain patients to be managed remotely via telemedicine while
receiving care comparable to that which would be available in a hospital or chest
pain observation unit.
