The document discusses the evaluation of chest pain, reviewing the history, physical exam findings, and diagnostic testing used to differentiate cardiac causes like heart attacks and angina from other potential causes. It outlines frameworks for evaluating chest pain by considering airway, breathing, circulation, and digestive system issues. Key tests are highlighted for accurately diagnosing conditions like pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, heart failure, and perforated ulcers that can present with chest pain symptoms.

15. Physical Examination
• VITALS (Verify If They Are Living Still)
• Blood pressure in both arms
• Jugular venous pulses versus distention
• Auscultation (heart and lungs)
• Radial and carotid pulses
• Reproducible chest pain
16. Pulsation versus
Distention
Thus the higher the jugular venous
pulsation the greater the jugular
venous pressure. If the pressure is
too great, jugular venous distention
occurs.

For men older than 70 with atypical or typical symptoms, assume an estimate > 90%.
For women older than 70, assume an estimate of 61!90% EXCEPT women at high risk AND
with typical symptoms where a risk of > 90% should be assumed.
Values are per cent of people at each mid-decade age with significant coronary artery

Hi = High risk = diabetes, smoking and hyperlipidaemia (total cholesterol > 6.47 mmol/litre).
Lo = Low risk = none of these three.
The shaded area represents people with symptoms of non-anginal chest pain, who would not
be investigated for stable angina routinely.
Note:
These results are likely to overestimate CAD in primary care populations.
If there are resting ECG ST-T changes or Q waves, the likelihood of CAD is higher in each
cell of the table.

• “Relief of chest pain with nitroglycerin is not a reliable diagnostic test and does not distinguish
between cardiac and non-cardiac chest pain.” (CJEM. 2006 May;8(3):164-9.) and “in a general
population admitted for chest pain, relief of pain after nitroglycerin treatment does not predict active
coronary artery disease and should not be used to guide diagnosis” (Ann Intern Med. 2003 Dec
16;139(12):979-86)
• “Inducible ischemia on stress testing was found in 33 (14%, 95% confidence interval 10% to 19%) of
the 231 patients who had typical anginal pain, 238 (11%, 95% confidence interval 10% to 13%) of the
2,140 patients presenting with atypical/nonanginal chest pain, and 25 (16%, 95% confidence interval
11% to 22%) of the 153 patients who had no complaint of chest pain on presentation. Compared to
patients with atypical or no chest pain, patients with typical chest pain were not significantly more
likely to have inducible ischemia on stress testing (likelihood ratio +1.25, 95% confidence interval 0.89
to 1.78). In conclusion, in our study, the patients who presented with "typical" angina were no more
likely to have inducible myocardial ischemia on stress testing than patients with other presenting
symptoms.” (Am J Cardiol. 2010 Jun 1;105(11):1561-4. Epub 2010 Apr 10.)
