1.1 PRESENTING COMPLAINT
CHEST PAIN
Site
• Cardiac pain is most commonly central in the chest, retro-sternal or epigastric.
• Pain that is felt in the sides of the chest or well-localized pain is more likely to be mechanical.
Onset
• Sudden (usual) or gradual.
• What was the patient doing when the pain started?
Character
• Crushing, squeezing or a sensation of pressure may represent cardiac ischaemia.
• Severe or ‘tearing’ pain may be associated with aortic dissection.
• Stabbing pain may be associated with pericarditis or pleurisy.
MICRO-facts
Levine’s sign (a clenched fist held over the sternum to describe pain character) is associated with ischaemic pain but has a low positive predictive value. The strongest predictive features of cardiac pain are an association with exercise and radiation to the shoulders or arms. Tenderness in the chest wall does not preclude cardiac chest pain but may be a useful negative predictor.
Radiation
• Radiation to the jaw, arm and hand may occur in ischaemic pain.
Associated features
• Autonomic symptoms: sweating, clamminess, anxiety, nausea and b...
