Chest Pain: Delays in seeking medical attention.

R Dickson, M Shuster, G B Brown.   

Abstract

A multicenter prospective survey of 101 patients who presented to the emergency departments of five metropolitan medical centers complaining of non-traumatic chest pain showed that many delayed going to hospital. We call for more effective communication between physicians, patients, and the public and for improved public education on the signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction and the correct response.
