Overview

Chest Pain: Advanced Assessment and Management is aimed at advanced practitioners with experience of caring for patients with cardiac disorders. It promotes a systematic approach to the assessment and management of patients presenting with chest pain and equips practitioners with the knowledge and clinical skills needed to differentiate between life-threatening and non-life threatening conditions. Introductory chapters explore history taking, clinical examination and diagnostic reasoning and provide the framework for subsequent chapters which explore cardiac and non-cardiac causes of chest pain. Each of these chapters adopts a standard approach exploring the underlying pathophysiology, clinical presentation, clinical examination and history taking, initial investigations, differential diagnosis, immediate management and interventions, further investigations and long term management. Topics covered include: acute coronary syndromes, angina, pericarditis and myocarditis, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade and pneumothorax, oesophagastric disturbances, musculoskeletal chest pain and pulmonary chest pain.
