A total of 370 patients were reviewed and only patients with typical oppressive chest pain at presentation were included. Those who had atypical symptoms or initial symptoms inside the hospital (n=160) were excluded, as well as patients who died during index hospitalization or follow-up (n=5). A sample of 205 patients was analyzed and clinical data were retrospectively obtained from patients’ medical records. Telephone interviews were performed after hospital discharge (time between discharge and call was variable) by a doctor asking patients about their perception of symptom onset. The question for all patients was: “Did you consider the possibility of a heart problem when your chest pain started?” Patients who answered affirmatively were classified as having perception of ACS symptoms. Twenty patients did not have the cognitive ability to understand the question and were excluded from the final analysis. No other questions relating to perception and patient behavior (for example time before calling for help) were investigated, in order to minimize recall bias.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Past ischemic heart disease (IHD) was defined as a history of ACS, coronary revascularization or positive ischemic stress test.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who had perception of ACS were compared with those of patients who did not, using the chi-square test for categorical variables and the t test for continuous variables.

ACS presentation was unstable angina in 12.3%, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) in 38.2%, non-ST-segment elevation MI in 42.8% and undetermined ECG location MI in 6.4%.

However, most studies analyze predictors of prehospital delay and not predictors of symptom perception.

In our cohort, female gender was associated with worse perception of ACS symptoms, with a two-fold increase in failure to identify cardiac symptoms. Since our population had chest pain presentation, atypical ACS presentation did not explain our results in the female group, suggesting that women had less awareness of cardiac symptoms even with typical chest pain. The reason for this phenomenon is unknown.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Like other researchers,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5,15,18</span></a> we found no influence of age on ACS perception.
