CHAPTER 6 Cardiovascular symptoms
128
Chest pain—alarming and increasing
over minutes to hours
This refers to chest pain that is not sharp and is not an easily recognized
pattern by the patient (e.g., as predictable, familiar angina). Ideally, the
detailed history is taken where resuscitation facilities are available. Early,
nonspecific ECG changes will suggest an acute coronary syndrome, a
blanket term that includes angina or infarction (MI), but serial ECG or
enzyme changes may be needed to distinguish between them.
- Normal troponin 12 hours after pain: probability of MI <0.3%
- iTroponin indicates episode of muscle necrosis up to 2 weeks before
- ST-segment elevation indicates current ischemia (or rarely ventricular
aneurysm).
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Angina (new
or unstable)
Suggested by: central pain ± radiating to jaw and ei
t
her
arm (left usually). Intermittent, brought on by
exertion, relieved by rest or nitrates, and lasting
<30 minutes. May be associated with transient ST
depression or T inversions or, rarely, ST elevation.
Confirmed by: no itroponin after 12 hours (excludes
MI). Stress test showing inducible ischemia
ST-elevation
myocardial
infarction
(STEMI)
Suggested by: central chest pain ± radiating to jaw and
either arm (left usually). Continuous, usually over
30 minutes, not relieved by rest or nitrates
Confirmed by: ST elevation 1 mm in limb leads or
2 mm in chest leads on serial ECGs (this is regarded
as sufficient evidence to treat with thrombolysis).
itroponin indicates episode of muscle necrosis up to
2 weeks before. itroponin may not be present in the
first 4 hours after the onset of chest pain.
Non-ST-
elevation
myocardial
infarction
(NSTEMI)
Suggested by: central chest pain ± radiating to jaw
and either arm (left usually). Continuous, usually over
30 minutes, not relieved by rest or nitrates
Confirmed by: elevated troponin after 12 hours. T-wave
and ST-segment changes but no ST elevation on serial
ECGs
Esophagitis and
esophageal
spasm
Suggested by: past episodes of pain when supine, after
food. Relieved by antacids
Confirmed by: no i in troponin after 12 hours and no
ST-segment changes on ECG. Improvement with
antacids. Esophagitis on endoscopy
CHEST PAIN—ALARMING & INCREASING OVER MIN TO HOURS1
129
Pulmonary
embolus
arising from leg
DVT, silent pelvic
vein thrombosis,
right atrial
thrombus
Suggested by: central chest pain, also abrupt shortness
of breath, cyanosis, tachycardia, loud second sound in
pulmonary area, associated deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) or risk factors such as cancer, recent surgery,
immobility
Confirmed by: V/Q scan with mismatched ventilation
and perfusion, spiral (helical) CT (CT-pulmonary
angiogram) showing clot in pulmonary artery
Pneumothorax Suggested by: abrupt pain in center or side of chest
with abrupt breathlessness. Resonance to percussion
over site
Confirmed by: expiration CXR showing dark field with
loss of lung markings outside sharp line containing lung
tissue
Dissecting
thoracic aortic
aneurysm
Suggested by: ‘tearing pain often radiating to back
and not responsive to analgesia, abnormal or absent
peripheral pulses, early diastolic murmur, low BP,
and wide mediastinum on CXR
Confirmed by: loss of single clear lumen on CT
scan
or MRI
Chest wall pain
e.g.,
costochondritis
and Tietze’s
syndrome,
strained muscle
or rib injury
Suggested by: chest pain and localized tenderness
of chest wall or chest pain on twisting of neck
or thoracic cage
Confirmed by: no i in troponin after 12 hours, and no
ST-segment changes or T-wave changes serially on
ECG
. Response to rest and analgesics
Chest pain—alarming & increasing over
min to hours

CHAPTER 6 Cardiovascular symptoms
130
Chest pain—sharp and aggravated
Chest pain—sharp and aggravated by
breathing or movement
This is a common symptom experienced in mild or transient forms by
many in the population; it usually resolves with no cause being discovered.
It frightens a patient into seeking advice when it is severe or accompanied
by other symptoms, such as breathlessness, when a specific cause is more
likely to be found.
Some differential diagnoses and typical outline evidence
Pleurisy
due to
pneumonia
Suggested by: being worse on inspiration, shallow
breaths, pleural rub, evidence of infection (fever, cough,
consolidation, etc.)
Confirmed by: opacification in lung periphery on CXR
and sputum/blood culture
Pulmonary
infarct
due to embolus
arising from
DVT in leg,
silent pelvic vein
thrombosis, silent
right atrial
thrombosis
Suggested by: sudden shortness of breath, pleural rub,
cyanosis, tachycardia, loud P2, associated DVT, or risk
factors such as recent surgery, cancer, immobility
Confirmed by: V/Q scan mismatch, spiral CT showing
clot in pulmonary artery
Pneumothorax Suggested by: pain in center or side of chest with abrupt
breathlessness. Diminished breath sounds, resonance
to percussion over site
Confirmed by: expiratory CXR showing loss of lung
markings outside sharp pleural line
Pericarditis
caused by MI,
infection, espe-
cially viral, malig-
nancy, uremia,
connective
tissue diseases
Suggested by: sharp pain worse lying flat or with trunk
movement, relieved by leaning forward. Pericardial rub
Confirmed by: ECG: diffuse concave ST elevations and
PR depressions. CXR: globular heart shadow and relief
with pericardial drainage (if hypotensive)
Musculoskeletal
injury or
inflammation
(often Borholm’s
disease,
Cocksackie B
infection)
Suggested by: associated focal tenderness. Often
history of trauma
Confirmed by: excluding other explanations. Normal
troponin
CHEST PAIN—SHARP AND AGGRAVATED1
131
Chest wall pain
e.g., chostochon-
dritis orTietze’s
syndrome,
strained muscle
or rib injury
Suggested by: chest pain and localized tenderness of
chest wall or chest pain on twisting of neck
or thoracic cage
Confirmed by: no itroponin after 12 hours, and no
ST-segment or T-wave changes serially on ECG
.
Response to rest and analgesics
Referred
cervical root
pain
Suggested by: previous minor episodes, exacerbation
by neck movement (producing closure of nerve root
foramina related to area of pain)
Confirmed by: clinical features and MRI scan
Shingles Suggested by: pain (often burning in nature) in a
dermatomal distribution, previous exposure to
chicken pox or shingles attacks. More common in
immunocompromised patients
Confirmed by: vesicles appearing within days
