Electrocardiographic Results of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Acute coronary syndrome is a common cause of emergency department visits. Timely diagn osis and treatment may improve the patients’ final outcome. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is deemed a useful tool for this purpose. In this letter , ECG of 152 acute coronary syndrome patients have been studied and the findings show that ECG alone is not a proper tool for screening acute coronary syndrome patients and should better be used repeatedly alongside other tools such as clinical examination, laboratory tests.
