Chest Pain
Chest pain is the chief complaint in 1-2% of outpatient visits 1
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for seeking care in the U.S. 2
8 million ED visits annually in the United States
Acute Coronary Syndrome is missed in approximately 2% of patients

“Angina Equivalent Syndrome”
Several reports in 1980-1990’s documented that between 25 and 45 percent of patients with coronary heart disease have myocardial ischemia during daily life.
Greater than 75 percent of these ischemic episodes are not associated with chest pain.
Dyspnea (10-30%) - Unexplained decrease energy level -Palpitations/Syncope
Diabetes - Older adults - Women -Those with prior myocardial infarction or surgical revascularization
![Page 12: Non-Invasive Cardiovascular EvaluationMyocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) Test Three part Study Part 1: Rest images are obtained approximately 45 minutes after injection of the isotope](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060404/5f0efa537e708231d441e0a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The optimal non-invasive vascular diagnostic study is
stress testing
The patient is exercised on the treadmill to maximal exercise tolerance utilizing the Bruce Protocol**
Goal is to achieve at least 85 % Maximal Predicted Heart Rate
MPHR = 220 – age (years) x 85 % = MPHR
220 – 50 x 85 % = 144

Regular Treadmill Exercise Stress Test
If the Patient can exercise and has a normal ECG a Regular exercise stress test is the recommended initial study.
Exercise capacity is one of the most important determinants of prognosis.
In older adults it’s a strong predictor of increased morbidity and mortality.

Unable to exercise to a satisfactory workload
Baseline LBBB should have a vasodilator radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging or stress echocardiography.
Marked obesity may need a 2 day radionuclide study with vasodilator.

1. Screening asymptomatic patients with electrocardiography has an extremely low yield for detecting pathology it leads to multiple false positive results.
2. The exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) is a well-validated procedure for establishing the diagnosis and prognosis of coronary heart disease, as well as assessing functional capacity.
3. Inappropriate cardiac stress test with imaging studies lead to one half billion dollars a year in unnecessary medical cost
4. In a patient with low test probability the results are more likely to be a false positive

5. Coronary artery calcium scores may be of some benefit in screening of low risk patients for implementing statin therapy
6. Absolute and relative contraindications to exercise testing should be considered when ordering the test.
7. Pre-test resting EKG and basic instructions at the time the test is ordered is important.
8. There are a wide variety of non-invasive cardiac diagnostic studies available to help you in the care of your patient.
9. Remember atypical presentations in diabetics, the elderly and females.
