Treatment ofNon-Life-Threatening Causes ofChest Pain
Treatment is based on the underlying etiology.
Chest wall pain: Treatment of most causes of chest wall pain is
conservative with pain control with acetaminophen or
NSAIDs. Patients rarely need opioids to manage pain.
Patients with herpes zoster symptom onset within 72h or new
skin lesions should receive antiviral therapy. Patients with
cervical spondylosis benefit from physiotherapy to strengthen
the muscles around the neck (Fig.17.5a) [11, 15, 16].

Gastroesophageal reflux disease: Patients with typical features
of gastroesophageal reflux disease should be evaluated for red flag signs such as dysphagia, odynophagia, GI bleeding, weight loss, and early satiety. A trial of proton pump inhibi­tors can be prescribed in the absence of red flags signs. Refer to gastroenterology if red flag signs are present or if esophageal dysmotility is suspected (Fig.17.5b) [9].
Pneumonia: For patients presenting with community- acquired
pneumonia, pneumonia severity based on CURB-65 or pneumonia severity index needs to be assessed. These prognostic tools will help decide if patients need inpatient admission for the management of community-acquired pneumonia [17]. CURB-65 score of 0 or 1 can be consid­ered for treatment at home. Beta-lactams, alone or com­bined with macrolides, can be considered for empiric antibiotic coverage (Fig.17.5c). Detailed discussion about the choice of antibiotics is available at the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) guidelines [17].
Chronic stable angina: Patients with chronic stable angina
should have 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk calculated, and cardiovascular risk factors such as dia­betes and hypertension should be aggressively controlled. LDL cholesterol should be managed using statins. Nitrates are the cornerstone for symptom relief. Patients should be referred to cardiology if there is role for revascularization based on the diagnostic testing with CCTA or stress tests (Fig.17.5d) [3].
Clinical Pearls
• A thorough history and physical examination are vital for an accurate diagnosis and management of patients pre­senting with chest pain.
• Having a broad differential diagnosis is essential for an accurate diagnosis of chest pain.
• Patients presenting with chest pain should be rapidly evaluated for life-threatening causes and triaged to the appropriate level of care.
• Cardiovascular risk factors should be evaluated in patients presenting with chest pain.

Don’t Miss
• Inferior myocardial infarction can present as epigastric discomfort.
• Women, patients with diabetes, and elderly patients can present with atypical symptoms such as abdominal dis­comfort, fatigue, syncope, or presyncope in the setting of acute coronary syndrome.

Anemia
BenjaminCohen

Introduction

Anemia is diagnosed when a patient’s hemoglobin is less than 12 mg/dL in women and less than 13 mg/dL in men [1]. Alternatively, one can use the hematocrit to diagnose anemia. The typical ratio between RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit is 1:3:9. After determining the patient has anemia, we can look at the reticulocytes to calculate the reticulocyte index. The reticulocyte index adjusts the reticulocyte count based on the degree of anemia. A reticulocyte index>2% indicates hyper­proliferation of erythrocytes and that the patient’s anemia is from acute blood loss or hemolysis. A reticulocyte index<2% indicates that the anemia is due to hypoproliferation of eryth­rocytes. Additionally, the MCV will help us to further classify the cause of anemia into microcytic (<80 fL), normocytic (80–100fL), and macrocytic (>100fL) [2] (Fig.18.1).
