| Popis: | Chest pain is one of the most common presenting symptoms in healthcare settings and one of the most difficult diagnostic challenges. A comprehensive history is the cornerstone of evaluation and diagnosis and one of the most important skills in distinguishing among the many causes of chest pain.
