Prepared by | Abdullah A. Laftal
Group 32 | Medicine 3
Objectives :
 define chest pain .
 state the causes , prevalence
 management of patient with chest pain
Chest pain :
 symptom of a number of serious conditions and is generally
considered a medical emergency. Even though it may be
determined that the pain is non-cardiac in origin, this is often a
diagnosis of exclusion made after ruling out more serious causes
of the pain
Case 1 :
A 53-year-old man was admitted to the hospital .
The patient had been well until three months earlier, when he
began to have increasingly severe exertional dyspnea, without
chest pain.
 On the day of admission, he had been at work, lifting and
transporting heavy objects, when a sensation of "heaviness"
developed across his chest, accompanied by dyspnea.
 In an ambulance en route to this hospital, ventricular
fibrillation was discovered, and a single shock resulted in
reversion to a normal rhythm.
An electrocardiogram obtained at the time of his arrival at this
hospital showed elevated ST segments in leads V1 through
V4, with depressed ST segments in leads II and III
The patient had a 40-pack-year history of cigarette smoking;
he drank little alcohol. He had hypertension and hyperlipidemia
and took medications for both. There was no history of
diabetes mellitus or previous chest pain and no family history
of coronary disease.
On physical examination :
Temperature was 38.3°C
 pulse was 85
blood pressure was 115/80 mm Hg.
 The patient was alert and comfortable.
 The jugular venous pressure was 8 cm of water.
Bibasal crackles were present.
A grade 1 systolic murmur was heard, with a third heart
sound.
The abdomen was normal
and there was no peripheral edema.
Management :
Oxygen, lidocaine, aspirin, and metoprolol were administered,
the patient was transported urgently to the cardiac
catheterization unit.
A coronary angiographic study revealed three-vessel disease,
including complete occlusion of the left anterior descending
artery at its ostium.
A stent was placed
