Y1 - 2020 N1 - T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - About 7 million patients with chest pain present to a U.S. ED each year.1 Of these, more than 50% are placed into an observation unit or admitted to the hospital, yet only about 10% are eventually diagnosed with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).2-6 Still, approximately 2% of patients with acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs) are not diagnosed on initial presentation to the ED.2 We discuss the features and approach that help differentiate ACS from other causes of chest pain. Chapter 49, “Acute Coronary Syndromes,” and Chapter 51, “Low-Probability Acute Coronary Syndromes,” discuss management of these specific syndromes.
