Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute chest pain is a frequent cause of visits to emergency departments. As the major etiologies of such pain include life-threatening acute myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism, prompt diagnosis and management are essential. After exclusion of coronary artery disease, other cardiac causes must be considered. In this review, we discuss the diagnosis of acute chest pain with a focus on clinical symptoms and the initial examination.
