AB Patients  presenting  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  with  chest  pain  or  other  symptoms  suggesting  possible  coronary  ischemia  should  be  risk-stratified  based  on  the  probability  of  having  an  acute  coronary  syndrome  (ACS).  Patients  with  a  low-probability  ACS  have  no  objective  evidence  of  acute  coronary  ischemia  or  infarction.  These  patients  do  not  have  characteristic  ST-segment  elevation  or  depression  on  an  electrocardiogram  (ECG),  and  initial  cardiac  biomarkers  are  not  elevated.
