A. Clinical Assessment mendation for Initial Triage
Class I
1. Patient with possible ACS should not be evaluated solely over the telephone but should be referred to a facility that allows evaluation by a physician and the recording of a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)
2. Patients with a suspected ACS with chest fort at rest for >20 minutes, hemodynamic instability, or recent syncope or presyncope should be strongly considered for immediate referral to an emergency department or a specialized chest pain unit
B. Early Risk Stratification mendation
Class I
1. Patients who present with chest fort should undergo early risk stratification that focuses on anginal symptoms, physical findings, ECG findings, and biomarkers of cardiac injury
2. A 12-lead ECG should be obtained immediately in patients with ongoing chest fort
B. Early Risk Stratification mendation
Class I
3. Biomarkers of cardiac injury should be measured in all patients who present with chest fort consistent with ACS. A cardiac -specific troponin is the preferred marker, an
