Acute coronary syndrome risk calculation in patients with chest pain at the Emergency Department

This web page aims to help clinicians to assess clinical risk for acute coronary
syndrome in patients presenting with chest pain at the Emergency Department.
Please follow the instructions below.

Instructions
Based on our research study, the formula below provides a simple way to calculate
the chance of having acute coronary syndrome in individuals who have chest pain.
Just fill out 5 values below.

Gender: female = 0, male = 1

Age: years
CAD: previous history of coronary artery disease
DM: no diabetes = 0, diabetes = 1
Chest pain: having one character of angina pain including chest tightness; squeeze
pain at retrosternum; referred to shoulder, arm, or mandible; dyspnea or tachypnea;
associated with sweating or palpitation without other obvious causes; syncope or
fainting; improved with sublingual nitroglycerin.

From these five values, you will get the probability of having acute coronary
syndrome in patients with chest pain. The highest probability is 1 or 100%.
