Chapter 9 CHEST PAIN IN WOMEN
Chest pain is a very common complaint of patients presenting to the emergency room, as well as those presenting to outpatient clinics. More than 50% of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain have acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, or heart failure. However, most patients presenting to outpatient departments have diseases such as stable angina, musculoskeletal disorders, gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, or psychiatric disorders.
