Chest Pain: The New Clinical Standard and AHA/ACC Guidelinesのベスト引用
The 2021 guidelines are clear: labeling chest pain as 'atypical' is misleading and potentially dangerous. Instead, we must use 'cardiac,' 'possibly cardiac,' or 'non-cardiac' to force a specific level of clinical suspicion right from the start.

Clinical approach to chest pain leading to differential diagnoses
よくある質問
According to the 2021 AHA/ACC guidelines, clinicians should stop using the term 'atypical' to describe chest pain, as it can be misleading and dangerous. Instead, the new clinical standard encourages the use of more specific terms such as 'cardiac,' 'possibly cardiac,' or 'non-cardiac.' This shift is designed to force a higher level of clinical suspicion and ensure a more accurate diagnostic approach for patients.
Chest pain remains the second most common reason for emergency department visits in the United States, accounting for over six and a half million visits annually. Despite these high numbers, only about five percent of these patients are ultimately diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). This creates a significant diagnostic challenge for medical professionals who must identify high-risk cases among a large volume of non-cardiac presentations.
While only a small percentage of chest pain visits result in an ACS diagnosis, the stakes remain incredibly high because coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death, responsible for over 365,000 deaths annually. Clinicians must balance the need for an accurate differential diagnosis to catch these life-threatening cases without over-testing the ninety-five percent of patients whose chest pain is essentially non-cardiac in nature.
