The diagnosis of chest pain is not always due to a cardiac cause such as a myocardial infarction. In fact, non-cardiac causes of chest pain may present with similar signs and symptoms. This article delves into the differential diagnosis of chest pain using an anatomical approach and describes how a thorough history, physical examination as well as specific tests are required to confirm each diagnosis.
