ASSESS THE RISK LEVEL OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME (ACS) AMONG PATIENTS WITH CHEST PAIN IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Abstract

Background: Fast and accurate chest pain risk stratification in the Emergency Department (ED) is critical. The HEART score predicts the short-term incidence of major cardiac events (MACE) in this population and divides them into three risk categories. Our aim was to describe the chest pain population, to characterize the subset of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to assess the prognostic value of the Manchester triage system and the HEART score.Chest pain is a common symptom in all health care settings and may be due to a extensive variety of disease conditions. Some of those will be because of treatable causes, including musculoskeletal problems with favorable outcomes; others will be because of probably deadly life-threatening conditions, inclusive of acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Descriptive research design was adopted to conduct the study with( n=60) samples who met the inclusion criteria at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital. Samples were selected by convenience sampling Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. A total of 60 Samples who met the inclusion criteria is selected by using convenience sampling technique. After selecting the sample, the investigator introduced him-self and explained the purpose of the study to the participants. Informed consent was obtained from the participants after assured confidentiality. The demographic and clinical variables were collected by using multiple choice questionnaires. Assess the risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using HEART score immediately after receiving the chest pain patients with emergency. The data were collected, and score evaluation will take 10 -15 minutes after The data were tabulated and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics Result: The risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among patients with chest pain in emergency department. Study finding shows that out of 60 samples in risk level of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among patients with chest pain in emergency department by using HEART Score 36(60%) had high risk, 13(21.7%) had intermediate risk and11(18.3%)had low risk. Conclusion: The chest pain is the most associate feature of major adverse cardiac events in the conditions. Chest pain is a common presentation at the Emergency Room. Rapid identification level of risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS)isacrucial component of thetriage. HEART Score is an efficient score in triaging acute chest pain patients at the Emergency Department
