Chest pain in adults is a complex and multifaceted symptom that presents a significant diagnostic challenge in both primary care settings and emergency departments. Its aetiology spans a broad spectrum, ranging from benign and self-limited conditions, such as chest wall pain, to serious disorders, including anxiety disorders, and extends to life-threatening conditions like unstable angina, aortic dissection, and pulmonary embolism. The critical task for healthcare providers is to accurately identify the underlying cause of chest pain, ensuring that life-threatening and serious conditions are promptly recognized and treated without subjecting patients with less severe causes to unnecessary testing and treatment.
