Chest pain can have many potential causes. A thorough history and physical exam are important to help determine the likely diagnosis and guide appropriate testing. Key aspects of the history include characteristics of the pain such as location, radiation, onset and nature. The physical exam focuses on identifying potential causes of the pain or associated symptoms. Initial tests may include an ECG, blood tests, chest x-ray and echocardiogram to help differentiate causes such as heart disease, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia or musculoskeletal issues. Further tests are guided by the initial findings.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
New Drug Discovery and Development .....NEHA GUPTA
The "New Drug Discovery and Development" process involves the identification, design, testing, and manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compounds with the aim of introducing new and improved treatments for various medical conditions. This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.

3. -- Pleuritic chest pain-- Pleuritic chest pain
This is a sharp pain that is worse on deep
inspiration,coughing or movement.
•Pneumothorax.
•Pneumonia.
•Pulmonary embolus.
•Pericarditis: retrosternal.
4. -- Central chest pain-- Central chest pain
•Angina: crushing/tightness.
•Myocardial infarction: angina-like but more
severe,long-lasting and with associated symptoms.
•Dissecting aortic aneurysm: tearing interscapular
pain.
•Oesophagitis: burning.
•Oesophageal spasm.
8. Onset and progression of painOnset and progression of pain
• Cardiac ischaemic pain typically builds up over a few
minutes and may be brought on by exercise, emotion or
cold weather.
• In angina, the pain resolves on resting or with nitrate (GTN)
usage. It is often reproducible with consistent effort.
• In unstable angina, the pain may come on at rest or be of
increasing frequency or severity.
• In myocardial infarction (MI), the pain is severe, often
associated with systemic symptoms such as nausea,
vomiting and sweating, lasts for at least 30 minutes and is
not usually fully relieved by GTN.
• Spontaneous pneumothorax and pulmonary embolism
usually cause sudden onset of pleuritic pain and dyspnoea
9. Site and radiation of painSite and radiation of pain
• Cardiac ischaemia and pericarditis cause retrosternal
pain. With ischaemia, the pain is tight and ‘crushing’,
often radiating to the neck, jaw or arms. Oesophageal
disease can also cause retrosternal pain and may mimic
cardiac pain.
• Pericarditis is pleuritic and may be worse on lying flat but
relieved by sitting forward.
• A dissecting aortic aneurysm causes tearing pain
radiating through to the back.
• Pulmonary disease may cause unilateral pain, which the
patient can often localize specifically.
• Referred pain from vertebral collapse or shingles will
follow a dermatomal pattern.
10. Nature of painNature of pain
The precise nature of the pain gives
important clues as to the underlying
diagnosis
11. Are there any associatedAre there any associated
symptoms?symptoms?
• Dyspnoea: pulmonary embolism, pneumonia,pneumothorax,
pulmonary oedema in cardiac ischaemia, hyperventilation in
anxiety.
• Cough: purulent sputum in pneumonia, haemoptysis in
pulmonary embolism, frothy pink sputum in pulmonary oedema.
• Rigors: pneumonia (particularly lobar pneumoccocal
pneumonia).
• Calf swelling: has a pulmonary embolism (PE) arisen from deep
vein thrombosis?
• Palpitations: arrhythmia, e.g. new onset atrial fibrillation, can
cause angina or result from cardiac ischaemia, PE or
pneumonia.
• Clamminess, nausea, vomiting and sweating are features of
myocardial infarction or massive pulmonary embolism.
12. Are risk factors present?Are risk factors present?
• Ischaemic heart disease: smoking,
family history, hypercholesterolaemia,
hypertension, diabetes.
• PE: recent travel, immobility, or
surgery, family history, pregnancy,
malignancy.
• Pneumothorax: spontaneous (young,
thin men), trauma, emphysema,
asthma, malignancy.
14. What is the cause of the pain?What is the cause of the pain?
• Pulse: tachycardia/bradycardia or arrhythmia.
• Blood pressure: discrepancy between left and
right arms in aortic dissection (the pulse
volumes may also be unequal).
• Chest wall tenderness: rib fracture,
costochondritis, anxiety, shingles.
• Chest examination: pneumothorax,
consolidation, pleural rub, pulmonary oedema.
• Cardiac examination: rub (pericarditis), murmur
of aortic regurgitation in aortic dissection.
15. Are there risk factors?Are there risk factors?
• Abnormal lipids: xanthelasma, tendon xanthoma.
• Tar-stained fingers: predisposition to ischaemic heart
disease.
• Hot, oedematous, tender calf suggesting deep vein
thrombosis.
• Hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, features
• of Marfan’s syndrome or of diabetes.
16. What are the complications?What are the complications?
• Pulse: arrhythmia, tachycardia/
bradycardia.
• Blood pressure: shock in tension
pneumothorax, massive pulmonary
embolism, MI.
• Cardiac failure: pulmonary oedema
and third heart sound.
• Murmurs: acute mitral regurgitation
and ventricular septal defect after MI.
18. Blood testsBlood tests
• a full blood count
• urea and electrolytes
• Glucose
• cardiac enzymes, Troponin I or T at 6–12 hours
after symptom onset, While cardiac enzymes
have been largely replaced by troponin
measurements,they remain useful after MI to
assess reinfarction, as troponins remain raised
for 2 weeks and creatine kinase returns to
normal after 2–3 days.
• D -dimers
19. ElectrocardiogramElectrocardiogram
• New-onset left bundle branch block, T wave
changes, ST depression and elevation on ECG
are suggestive of an acute coronary syndrome.
• Changes suggestive of PE Sinus
tachycardia, Atrial arrhythmia, e.g. atrial
fibrillation, Right heart strain, Right axis
deviation, Right bundle branch block, S1 Q3 T3,
( deep S wave in I, Q wave in III, T wave
inversion in III)
-- Note that sinus tachycardia may be the only
abnormality present.
• Arrhythmia may also be detected on ECG.
20. Causes of ST elevation on ECG
• Myocardial infarction:- Inferior aVF, II, III
,Anteroseptal V1−4 ,Lateral I, aVL, V4−6
• Pericarditis:- Across all leads (saddle-shaped ST
change)
• Prinzmetal’s angina :- Leads of affected
coronary artery (spasm)
• Aortic dissection :- Only if coronary artery
involved
• Left ventricular aneurysm :- Persistent elevation
for 6 months following infarct
22. Arterial blood gasesArterial blood gases
• The assessment of arterial blood gases is
useful in determining the severity of PE,
pneumonia or pulmonary oedema,
showing hypoxia and occasionally
hypocapnia.
• In hyperventilation related to anxiety, the P
O 2 may be mildly elevated while there will
be hypocapnia and a respiratory alkalosis
25. Imaging for pulmonary embolismImaging for pulmonary embolism
• Ventilation–perfusion scan was the standard
imaging used to diagnose PE.
• CT pulmonary angiogram is now preferred .
26. Exercise testExercise test
• An exercise test may be diagnostic
when angina is suspected. It is mainly
used in risk stratification post MI or in
the outpatient clinic when
investigating chest pain. It is
CONTRAINDICATED in acute
coronary syndromes.
