Aims: Chest pain units (CPUs) have been established to optimize treatment of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to early and accurately discharge patients with non-coronary chest pain. The aim of this analysis was to elucidate whether treatment of ACS patients in the CPU versus emergency department (ED) has prognostic implications.
Methods And Results: Patients presenting with suspected ACS to either the ED between August 2004 and June 2005 or the CPU between July 2005 and May 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.
