Approximately 3% of adults in the U.S. have experienced acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and each year over 1 million adults in the United States will experience ACS or fatal coronary artery disease.1 Prompt care seeking for ACS improves outcomes for patients, as clinicians can intervene sooner, reducing potential myocardial damage and affording patients access to time limited therapies.2 However, to receive prompt treatment, patients must seek care quickly when ACS symptoms occur, yet delays in care seeking still exist in the United States.
