Chest discomfort at night and risk of acute coronary syndrome: cross-sectional study of telephone conversations

ConclusionsPatients calling the OHS-PC for chest discomfort between 0 and 9 am have almost twice a higher risk of ACS than those calling other hours, a phenomenon more evident in men than in women. At night, dispatching ambulances more ‘straightaway’ could be considered for these patients with chest discomfort.Trial numberNTR7331.
