  Purpose

The purpose of this registry is to assess and improve the process of care and health outcomes of patients presenting to the Emergency Department with chest pain suspected to be of cardiac origin. The study will identify which methods facilitate the diagnosis and risk stratification of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non STEMI, including patients with occult myocardial infarction (MI), and result in a shorter time to definitive diagnosis and treatment.
