Abstract:

Chest pain is one of the most common symptoms in the elderly. In China, the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of chest pain in elderly patients is relatively high. In this paper, we discuss the epidemiology, mechanism, etiology and classification, clinical manifestations and risk assessment, treatment, and prognosis of chest pain in elderly patients, with an aim to standardize the evaluation and diagnosis of chest pain in elderly patients, improve its diagnosis and treatment, and facilitate rational use of medical resources.

Key words: Chest pain, Elderly, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis
