Summary

Thoracic pain is the main symptom of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), urgent and serious illness. Whereas hospital mortality decreased until reaching 10%, out-of-hospital mortality remains high: half of the deaths occur during the first two hours. The benefit of an early diagnosis of ACS in term of morbidity and mortality is well established. Identification of the coronary origin of a thoracic pain by the telephone triage physician of the pre-hospital emergency service (SAMU) leads to the sending of a physician staffed ambulance (UMH) and is thus a key element of the prognosis.

The aim of the study is to build a telephone predictive score of ACS at the triage of calls for non traumatic thoracic pain. The separate analysis of the questionnaires by sex will authorize the validation of a unique score or two distinct scores for men and women.
