In Emergency Departments patients admitted with chest pain may suffer from non-significant to lifethreatening conditions.

The aim of the present study is to develop and validate a referral model in chest pain patients which divide the patients with non- significant ECG changes into high risk and low risk groups for acute coronary syndrome.
