Incidence
- There is a significant difference in the epidemiology of chest pain in the outpatient and emergency settings.
- The incidence of chest pain is approximately 1,500 per 100,000 individuals worldwide[1].
- A cross-sectional study conducted in Germany and published in 2016, found the incidence of chest pain was estimated to be 700-3000 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide[2].
- Cardiovascular causes such as MI, angina, heart failure, and pulmonary embolism account for 50,000 per 100,000 cases of chest pain seen in the emergency department[3].
- In the outpatient setting, musculoskeletal pain, gastrointestinal causes, panic disorder, and other psychiatric conditions predominate [4][5] .
- In the united states, pulmonary causes account for 5,000 per 100,000 cases of chest pain[6].
- Nonspecific chest pain has an incidence of 16,000 per 100,000 cases[6].
Prevalence
- Approximatelly a quarter of the population experience chest pain in some form during their lifetime[7][8].
