Abstract
Epidemiological studies of chest pain, in particular the risk of pain being cardiac in nature, vary according to setting. Community-based studies with their undifferentiated populations see high rates of non-cardiac chest pain, whilst studies based in A&E departments have much higher proportions of cardiac chest pain, as patients are already self-selected based on the severity of symptoms, or triaged via contact with their GP, emergency services (999/112/911) or the NHS 111 Service.
