Aim To select clinical and laboratory predictors to identify patients with a high likelihood of ACS in the Chest Pain Unit. Material and methods: Prospective evaluation of patients consulting in a Chest Pain Unit of a University Hospital. Initial assessment was standardized and included evaluation of Pain characteristics, electrocardiogram and Troponin I. Independent predictors of ACS were identified with a multiple logistic regression. Results: In a four years period, 1,168 patients aged 62+/-23 years (69% males), were studied. After initial evaluation, 62% of the patients were admitted to the hospital for further testing and in 71% of them, a definite diagnosis of ACS was made. No events were reported by patients directly discharged from the Chest Pain Unit. Independent predictors associated with a higher likelihood of ACS were an abnormal electrocardiogram at the initial evaluation (Odds ratio (OR) 5.37, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 3.61-7.99), two or more cardiovascular risk factors (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.21-2.84), cervical irradiation of the Pain (O ...
