J. Willis Hurst, MD, a pioneer in the development of cardiology,
and his colleague, Douglas C. Morris, M.D., both of Emory
University, have edited this book and chose its unusual title for
very specific reasons. Patients sometimes have an odd view as to
anatomic landmarks that identify the location of the chest, and may
assign terms other than pain to their discomfort. Hence the
quotation marks around "chest pain." The arrow (-->) after
"chest pain" indicates that the physician initially may not know
the cause of the symptom, so a differential diagnosis must be
established.
This book was written to reintroduce in the modern clinical
setting the knowledge and skills needed to analyze symptoms,
physical findings, and ECG and x-ray abnormalities in order to
accurately diagnose more than 50 different conditions that may
bring about a complaint of "chest pain." Experts in the fields of
cardiology, pulmonology, dermatology, orthopedics, thoracic
surgery, and psychiatry contribute a unique perspective on this
common but compelling medical problem. Each chapter concentrates on
one causative syndrome or malady, from its initial presentation to
its etiology, to differential diagnosis and treatment, while an
abundance of well-designed figures serve to illustrate the location
of the "chest pain."
Any cardiologist, primary care, or emergency care physician who
may encounter a patient complaining of "chest pain" will benefit
from this book''s clear, concise and thorough approach to the
problem.
