The cMyC test correctly excluded a heart attack in 32 per cent of patients.
It was developed by British scientists and is twice as accurate as troponin test.
It could mean thousands of patients are given the all-clear and sent home within quarter of an hour of arriving at A&E.
Researcher Dr Tom Kaier estimates that at his own hospital, St Thomas’s in central London, the test would save £800,000 a year in reduced admissions and free up 2,500 beds for the neediest patients.
