Chest pain clinic
A same-week pathway for people with new chest pain who need to know if it is the heart.
Overview
Most chest pain is not a heart attack, but you should never guess. In this clinic we take a careful history, do an ECG on the spot and decide together whether you need an echo, a stress test or simple reassurance.
What is included
- ECG and examination in the first visit
- Clear written plan before you leave
- Urgent cases sent straight to emergency care
