When doctors and nurses use accepted guidelines for quickly treating patients who come to the emergency department (ED) with a possible heart attack, patients do better. Research shows that there are racial-identity- and ethnicity-based differences in the symptoms these patients have, when and why they seek care, the treatments they receive, and how well they fare afterwards. There is also Canadian evidence that there may be racial-identity-based disparities in the care some patients receive, and it has been suggested that health professionals may unconsciously treat patients of different racial identities differently. But it is not known if there is racial-identity variation in the care given to Canadian patients with heart attack symptoms in the critical first hours after coming to an ED, or in their experiences of this care. The investigators collected information from the health records of patients who come to EDs with symptoms of heart attack. The investigators recorded events and times such as what provisional diagnosis was assigned to the patient, how often they received pain medication, how long until certain tests were performed and what treatments were offered. The investigators also collected information about things that might affect delivery of care, e.g., the number of doctors and nurses who were on duty. Participants also completed a short questionnaire about their reasons for coming to the hospital, how long they waited before coming and why, and what their experience in the ED was like. The investigators reviewed this information to see if there are racial-identity-based differences in the care received by patients with heart attack symptoms. The findings could identify important disparities, which could in turn inform future projects to correct these disparities, for example, education of health professionals about ethnic differences in ideas of health and illness.
