AB  - Consider  acute  coronary  syndrome  (ACS)  in  the  initial  assessment  of  all  patients  presenting  with  chest  pain  and/or  difficulty  breathing.Atypical  presentations  are  common,  especially  in  women,  the  elderly,  and  diabetics.Obtain  an  emergent  electrocardiogram  in  all  patients  with  concern  for  ACS  to  rapidly  identify  ST-segment  elevation  myocardial  infarctions  (STEMI).Patients  with  STEMI  require  immediate  reperfusion  therapy  with  either  thrombolytics  or  percutaneous  coronary  intervention  to  salvage  the  maximum  amount  of  viable  myocardium.
