A total 23,407 444,189 emergency department (5.3%) had chief complaint during period. In units, 153 2,229 (6.9%) acute MI were identified. Most (76%) discharged home hospital admission. Compared to higher underwent “rule evaluation” (67%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 66%, 68% vs 57%, CI 56%, 58%; p
