Chest pain in the emergency department

A Cooper et al. Hosp Med. 2000 Mar.

Abstract

The assessment of patients with chest pain is challenging for any emergency physician because of the spectrum of illness covered by this symptom. Patients may have a serious life-threatening condition or a trivial self-limiting illness. This article presents an approach to the assessment and early management of patients presenting with acute non-traumatic chest pain in the emergency department.
