What are tx options of chest pain

Author: H K



Answer:

• Before any tesTng is considered, one must assess • the paUent’s general health • comorbidiUes • quality of life • If revascularizaTon is unlikely to be an acceptable opTon • further tesUng may be reduced to a clinically indicated minimum and • appropriate therapy should be insUtuted, which may include a trial of anUanginal medicaUon even if a diagnosis of CAD has not been fully demonstrated. • Non-invasive funcUonal imaging for ischaemia may be an opUon if there is need to verify the diagnosis • If the pain is clearly non-anginal, other diagnosTc tesTng may be indicated to idenTfy gastrointesTnal, pulmonary, or musculoskeletal causes of chest pain
