Overview

Angina pectoris is defined as a retrosternal chest discomfort that increases gradually in intensity (over several minutes). Percipitant factors are physical or emotional stress. In ACS, chest pain may occur during rest. Chest pain is characterized by radiation (left arm, neck, jaw) and its associated symptoms (dyspnea, nausea, lightheadedness). When actively treated or spontaneously resolving, it disappears over a few minutes. Relief with nitroglycerin is not necessarily a diagnostic criterion of myocardial ischemia, especially because other causes such as esophageal spasm may have respons to nitroglycerin. Associated symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, lightheadedness, confusion, presyncope or syncope, or vague abdominal symptoms are more frequently seen among patients with diabetes, women, and the elderly. A detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk factors, review of systems, past medical history, and family and social history are ncessary in patients with chest pain. It is pivotal to identify and triage the patients presented with chest pain within 10 minutes of arrival to the hospital. Patients diagnosed with STEMI should be scheduled for primary PCI. Early recognition of STEMI may improve outcomes. Stable angina and non-cardiac chest pain should be evaluated in outpaient setting. Common complications of chest pain include arrythmia, heart failure and Death. Depending on the etiology at the time of presentation, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.

Complications

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally good. [2]. However, depending on the etiology at the time of presentation, the prognosis may vary.

Clinical practice guidelines by the AHA/ACC/ASE/CHEST/SAEM/SCCT/SCMR guide evaluation based on an objective assessment of prognosis[1].

The Heart score may reduce unnecessary hospital admissions[3][4].
