Abstract :Objective: Chest pain is one of the potential symptoms of acute coronary syndrome and is the second most common emergency worldwide. Acute coronary syndrome tends to be seen in patients aged <45 years throughout the world. To be able to reduce the admission of patients with high-risk acute coronary syndrome referred to the cardiology polyclinic from the Emergency Department and decrease the morbidity/mortality rates, the association of acute coronary syndrome with healthy lifestyle behaviours should be examined, which will also contribute to a long-term high-quality and disability-free life. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 70 patients who presented with complaints of chest pain at the emergency department of an A1 Branch Training and Research Hospital between January and March 2022. The relationships were examined between acute coronary syndrome risk factors and healthy lifestyle behaviours using the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale-II. Results: In the study population, mean age was 55.06±14.06 years. Of the study population, 31.43% were women. The mean total score in Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale-II was 130.23±19.14, ranging from 91 to 171. The relationship between ACS risk factors and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale-II examined. A statistically significant medium level positive correlation was found between pain duration, pain severity, troponin with the health responsibility physical activity and diet points (p<0.05). Conclusion: Determining the relationship between possible acute coronary syndrome patients presenting at emergency department with chest pain complaints and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale-II is associated with the prevention of initial development of modifiable risk factors, increased awareness and the development of effective and effective behavioural lifestyles to increase the quality of life.Keywords : Göğüs ağrısı, akut koroner sendrom, sağlıklı yaşam davranışı, acil servis, risk faktörleri
