Objective: Early recognition of acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) is crucial in the emergency department. This study was designed to determine the diagnostic value of echocardiography, which was performed by an emergency medicine (EM) physician, to diagnosis ACS. Materials and Methods: This prospective and cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2011 and December 2011. All patients who were admitted with chest pain, to the EM department, and fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. The focused echocardiography was performed by the EM physician. All echocardiography videos recorded were shown to the cardiologist. The final comments were compared with EM physician's early findings. Results: Out of 48 patients, four were diagnosed with ACS. Three out of four patients diagnosed with ACS were detected by the EM physician with echocardiography. The EM physician's prediction value with echocardiography in ACS diagnosis was 75% (95% confidence interval [CI] range 59%–100%), and the negative predictive value was 97% (95% CI range 77,9%-100%). There was no major cardiac event in the patient in whom the EM physician failed to detect a wall motion defect. Conclusion: Echocardiography is a bedside, noninvasive test for diagnosis of ACS. The EM physician who participated in this study was able to recognize ACS with the absence of a segmental wall motion defect, as well as the cardiologist providing the final report.
