Comments

Guide for use:

Record all clinical events that the person experiences from the time of presentation to hospital until discharge from hospital.

More than one event may be recorded.

The time and date must be recorded for each clinical event that occurs.

Comments:

An acute coronary syndrome (ACS) related clinical event is a clinical event which can affect the health outcomes of a person with ACS.

Information on the occurrence of these clinical events in people with ACS is required due to an emerging appreciation of their relationship with late mortality.
