Interpretation: BOVA: Stage I (low risk, 0–2 points) What to do: Interpret only within the cited source population and criteria; use alongside complete clinical assessment. Inputs: Systolic blood pressure 90–100 mmHg: false; Elevated cardiac troponin: false; Right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography or CT: false; Heart rate ≥110/min: false Source: Bova C et al.
