简要总结
This study aims to investigate physicians' awareness regarding patients presenting with potential acute ischemic chest pain. It focuses on various electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns requiring prompt catheter lab activation for reperfusion therapy alongside other ECG mimics that may lead to false catheter lab activations.
详细描述
Chest pain is the second most common complaint in adult emergency department (ED) patients in the United States. Most visits result in a diagnosis of noncardiac chest pain and approximately half in nonspecific chest pain. Roughly 6% are ultimately diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, which is overwhelmingly (>90%) acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The term acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is applied to patients in whom there is a suspicion or confirmation of acute myocardial ischemia or infarction. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI), and unstable angina are the three traditional types of ACS.

结局指标
主要结局
Physicians' Awareness
时间窗: At time of online survey (Up to 2 months)
Physicians' awareness is measured by a numerical score of 0 to 10, depending on the electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern survey. 0 means (least recognition of ECG pattern) and 10 (high recognition of ECG pattern)
