This clinical pathway for the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients presenting with acute chest pain, including acute coronary syndromes, provides recommendations and algorithms for clinicians to diagnose, risk stratify, and manage acute chest pain in adult patients. The writing committee reviewed existing international and local guidelines. Modifications to the algorithm following face-to-face and virtual meetings resulted in expert decisions written as recommendations and presented in a flow diagram format. The USTH Chest Pain Pathway provides guidance based on current guidelines and recommendations on assessing and evaluating acute chest pain, tailored to local needs and institution-specific facilities. We recommend its use to ensure quality patient care in the hospital.
