The article is organized to approximate the process of problem solving that most physicians use to make a diagnosis in patients who complain of chest pain. Initially, the presenting symptom suggests several diagnostic possibilities. Additional, more specific, historic findings, physical findings, and the results of diagnostic studies further define and reduce the initial diagnostic list.
