Overview
Common underlying causes in the development of chest pain may be associated with the cardiac, respiratory, or gastrointestinal systems. Risk factors include smoking, obesity, drug abuse, [[GERD] and psychiatric disorders.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Risk factors assessment is an important step in the evaluation of a patient presenting with chest pain for establishing the pretest risk. The CAD Consortium models assess age, sex, symptom, hospital setting, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and smoking.[1]
- Common risk factors in the development of chest pain may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral and include the following: [2][3][4][5]
- Cardiac risk factors;
- Advanced age
- Previous history of myocardial infarction
- History of valvular disorders
- Pericarditis and myocarditis
- Family history of cardiomyopathies
- Hypertension
- High blood lipids
- Diabetes
- Tobacco use
- Pulmonary risk factors;
- Prior history of pulmonary embolism or DVTs
- Hormonal contraceptive use
- Malignancies
- Recent surgery
- Immobilization
- History of pneumonia
- Trauma/pulmonary contusion
- Pneumothorax or pleural effusion
- Gastrointestinal Risk factors;
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Hiatal hernia
- Recent gastroesophageal procedures involving scopes
- Boerhaave syndrome
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include: [6][7][8][9]
- Physical inactivity
- Drug abuse, eg cocaine
- History of esophageal motility/hypersensitivity disorders
- Psychological comorbidity
- New exercise routine
- Recent trauma
- Viral infections
- Sickle cell disease
Increased age
Increased age is a risk factor not only for acute coronary syndromes but also for other alternative diagnoses that present with chest pain.[1]
Sickle cell disease
Patients with sickle cell disease may present with chest pain in patients without traditional risk factors for acute coronary syndrome and must be evaluated for acute myocardial infarction.[1]
Noncardiac chest pain
- Noncardiac causes of chest pain including gastrointestinal and psychological have negative effect on the quality of life.
- Gastrointestinal symptoms (heartburn, dysphagia, acid regurgitation) and psychological symtoms such as anxiety, depression, neuroticism should be consulted for noncardiac chest pain.[8]
