AB  - About  8  million  patients  with  chest  pain  present  to  a  U.S.  ED  each  year.1  Of  these,  50%  to  70%  are  placed  into  an  observation  unit  or  admitted  to  the  hospital,  yet  only  about  10%  are  eventually  diagnosed  with  an  acute  coronary  syndrome.2,3,4,5  Still,  2%  to  5%  of  patients  with  acute  myocardial  infarctions  are  missed  on  initial  presentation  and  discharged  from  the  ED.2  We  discuss  the  features  and  approach  that  help  differentiate  acute  coronary  syndrome  from  other  causes  of  chest  pain.  The  chapters  titled  "Acute  Coronary  Syndromes"  and  "Low  Probability  Acute  Coronary  Syndromes"  discuss  management  of  these  specific  syndromes.
