AB Patients  with  chest  pain  or  other  symptoms  suggesting  coronary  ischemia  require  stratification  based  upon  the  probability  of  acute  coronary  syndrome  (ACS)  for  proper  treatment  and  disposition.  This  chapter  discusses  the  features  of  low  probability  ACS,  or  possible  ACS.  By  definition,  patients  classified  into  this  group  have  no  objective  evidence  of  acute  coronary  ischemia  or  infarction—no  characteristic  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  ST-segment  elevation  or  depression,  and  normal  levels  of  cardiac  markers.
