Aims: Assessing the prodromal cardiac symptoms in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and compare them with healthy population.
Background: Identifying specific prodromal cardiac symptoms can play an important role in screening people at risk.
Design: A comparative study of prodromal symptoms.
Methods: In this comparison study, an 80-item checklist of prodromal symptoms was designed and completed by 337 participants in three groups (Patient group I, Patient group II and Healthy group). All participants were studied over a period of six months (from May to October 2017). SPSS-15 software was used to analyse the data.
Results: The symptoms of pain/discomfort in chest, pain/discomfort centred in the superior part of chest, pain/discomfort in the left breast and numbness or burning of both arms were the most important symptoms to predict ACS incidence in the two patient groups (odds ratio > 4 and p ≤ .05).
