The Chest Pain Center model is an operational model that charts the course for correctly and consistently diagnosing and treating patients with ACS. The Chest Pain Center model has evolved over the past two decades in step with advances in the peer-reviewed literature and technology.

The goal of the Seventh Congress is to present the Chest Pain Center model as an overarching strategy for facilities as they strive to correctly and consistently diagnose and treat patients with ACS.  Acknowledged leaders will define the eight Key Elements of a Chest Pain Center and how they function together as a whole.

The 7th Congress provides an excellent opportunity to discuss key issues with experts in panel discussion format.
