Key result
The diagnosis of chest pain requires a thorough history, physical examination, and specific tests using an anatomical approach to differentiate between cardiac and non-cardiac causes.
Why the study?
Chest pain is not always caused by cardiac etiologies such as myocardial infarction, and non-cardiac causes may present with similar signs and symptoms.
