Chest pain

Introduction:-
*Chest pain is among the most common reasons for which patients
present for medical attention at either an emergency department (ED)
or an outpatient clinic.
*It is helpful to frame the initial diagnostic assessment and triage of
patients with acute chest discomfort around three catagories:
(1) myocardial ischemia.
(2) other cardiopulmonary causes (myopericardial disease, aortic
emergencies, and pulmonary conditions)
(3) non cardiopulmonary causes.
*Fewer than 15% of evaluated patients are eventually diagnosed with
acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .
*The most common diagnoses are gastrointestinal causes(42%)
*Score 0-3: 2.5% MACE over next 6 weeks Discharge Home
→
*Score 4-6: 20.3% MACE over next 6 weeks Admit for Clinical Observation
*Score 7-10: 72.7% MACE over next 6 weeks Early Invasive Strategies
→
The EDACS Score (Emergency Department
Assessment of Chest Pain Score)
• is a clinical tool used to assess the risk of acute
coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients presenting with
chest pain. It helps emergency department (ED)
physicians make decisions about which patients can be
safely discharged and which ones need further testing or
admission.
The Vancouver Chest Pain Rule**
• is a clinical decision tool designed to help emergency
department (ED) physicians determine which patients
presenting with chest pain are at low risk for acute
coronary syndrome (ACS) and can be safely discharged
without further cardiac testing. This rule aims to reduce
unnecessary admissions and testing, streamlining care for
patients with chest pain.
What are the sources of the chest pain(anatomic
locations):
.The chest wall including the ribs,the muscles and the
skin.
.The back including the spine,the nerves and the back
muscles.
. The lung,the pleura and the trachea .
.The heart and the pericardium.
.The aorta, the esophagus and the diaphragm.
.Referred pain from the abdominal cavity .
