Corresponding Author: Dr. Nursah Basol Results: Totally 325 patients with chest pain complaint were enrolled into the study. 24.3% of patients with chest pain were diagnosed as ACS. It was found that most of the patients (42.5%) came to ED by the ambulance. 110 (33.8%) of 325 patients with chest pain were consulted with cardiologists. The older age was found to be related with ACS significantly (p<0.001). Additionally; compressive, burning and squeezing types of chest pain were associated with ACS (p<0.040). The length of stay in the ED was found shorter in ACS+ group than ACS- group (p<0.001). Conclusion: The presented study indicates the role of emergency physicians on the management of patients with chest pain. The early and true diagnosis of patients is very important and essential particularly for the management of ACS in the ED.
