    Abstract

    Of the many causes of acute chest pain, it is important to delineate the life threatening causes, such as myocardial infarction, dissecting aneurysm and pulmonary embolism. It is important to consider the cause as 'myocardial infarction until proved otherwise'. Common causes in general practice are musculoskeletal disorders and functional problems. A diagnostic strategy is outlined.
