The chest pain option is for use with 12SL program only.
The entry for this menu item is passed on to the 12SL program which
considers it in the test interpretation. If you choose one of the options
and, additionally, enter the patient’s gender and date of birth, the
program will determine a percentage value indicating the probability of
acute ischemia. This value along with a reason for this conclusion will
appear in the interpretation.

patient data, select the neutral entries “-” and unknown.
