Overview
There are many organ systems, that when affected, can lead to the symptoms of chest pain. The most common organs involved are the heart, lungs, and the digestive system. Psychiatric disorders, can also lead to the perception of chest pain. The most important facet of diagnosis is distinguishing the life-threatening causes of chest pain, to the more benign causes.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
- Aortic dissection
- Coarctation of the aorta
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Myocarditis
- Pericarditis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Spontaneous pneumothorax
- Unstable angina
Common Causes
- Achalasia
- Anxiety
- Costochondritis
- Depression
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Pancreatitis
- Panic disorder
- Pneumonia
- Precordial catch
