Ambulance Service Activity
Information on Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) activity is collected for (a) incidents where a SAS resource attended and (b) conveyances where a patient was conveyed to hospital. The SAS activity data provides an indication of demand on unscheduled care services for people with suspected heart disease problems.
SAS records two main groupings of conditions which could indicate heart disease - heart problems and chest pains. Heart problems include cardiac history, abnormal breathing, chest pains, severe respiratory distress and abnormal heart rate. Chest pains include cardiac history, abnormal breathing, changing colour, nausea/vomiting, difficulty speaking between breaths and heart attack/angina history.
