Abstract
There have been no published recommendations for management of Low Risk Chest Pain in Emergency Departments across India. This is despite the fact that chest pain continues to be one of the most common presenting complaints in Emergency Departments. Risk stratification of patients utilizing an Accelerated Diagnostic Protocol has been shown to decrease hospitalizations by approximately 40% with a low 30Â day risk of Major Adverse Cardiac Events. The Experts Group of Academic Leaders from the Indian College of Cardiology and Academic College of Emergency Experts in India partnered with Academic Experts in Emergency Medicine and Cardiology from leading Institutions in the UK and USA collaborated to study the scientific evidence and make recommendations to guide emergency physicians working in Emergency Departments across India.
