Chest pain is pain or discomfort in the chest, typically the front and on the back near the shoulder blades and upper thoracic spine of the chest. It may be described as sharp, dull, pressure, heaviness or squeezing. Associated symptoms may include pain in the shoulder, arm, upper abdomen, or jaw, along with nausea, sweating, or shortness of breath. It can be divided into 20% heart-related and 80% non-heart-related pain.
Most causes of chest pain are not due to an acute heart attack. 80% of the symptoms are based on the following facts.
1. gastrointestinal (42%)
2. musculoskeletal (28%)
3. pericarditis (4%)
3. pulmonary embolism (2%).
5. coronary artery (max. 31%)
When experiencing chest pain in the upper body, on the front and back of the body, as well as in the left arm, it was assumed that the chest pain is a 100% signal for an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
That’s not correct, only 20% of chest pain patients have an acute heart attack. 80% are not affected by it. These are non-cardiological causes.
The very quick diagnosis of chest pain is important, because for 20% of chest pain patients, an acute heart attack begins. This means that about an hour after the onset of the acute heart attack, the heart muscle is damaged by an acute growing necrosis. A restoration of the heart muscle to a healthy heart muscle is not possible. Only the earliest detection of the acute heart attack prevents a dangerous necrosis

QUALITATIVE RESULTS NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE
Is there an acute heart attack or has the patient had a silent heart attack in the last 7 days - or does he not have a heart attack, but a possible gastritis or musculoskeletal complaint?
VERY COST EFFECTIVE
Treatment with the CHEST PAIN ANALYZER is very cost-effective and saves the health organization a lot of costs and time.
EVERY FIFTH CHEST PAIN IS AN AMI
Approx. 20% of all CHEST PAIN patients have an acute heart attack. You can receive relevant help in just 10 minutes. The heart muscle is spared and the consequential damage is minimized or even prevented.
