Hall and Simpson (2009) caution that in those with
atypical presentation there is an increased risk of underrecognition
and under-treatment of the ACS. It is helpful
to ask the patient whether he or she can point to the area
of chest pain. If he or she can pinpoint or localise the area,
it is unlikely to be cardiac in origin, as cardiac pain tends
to radiate (Hall and Simpson, 2009).
