From the Publisher

The wide range of conditions responsible for chest pain make it difficult to determine the single underlying cause and to decide upon the best possible plan of treatment. Physicians need a source that lists the possible diagnoses in a clear and concise format. Chest Pain is a quick-access handbook that includes chest pain in all adults and from all causes, including immediate assessment and treatment of acute causes of chest pain. Busy clinicians should find this book easy to use for this frequent but challenging complaint.
