Risk Factors

Common Risk Factors

Less Common Risk Factors

Increased age

Increased age is a risk factor not only for acute coronary syndromes but also for other alternative diagnoses that present with chest pain.[1]

Sickle cell disease

Patients with sickle cell disease may present with chest pain in patients without traditional risk factors for acute coronary syndrome and must be evaluated for acute myocardial infarction.[1]
