Chest pain invokes serious concern in adolescents, their families, and their primary care physicians. These concerns are fueled by media reports of sudden death in high-profile athletes and the high incidence of ischemic heart disease in our society. However, chest pain in this age group is usually benign and a careful clinical evaluation including a detailed history and physical examination may guide the clinician in reaching a diagnosis, obtaining the appropriate diagnostic studies, and making the proper referrals to specialists.
胸痛会引起青少年、他们的家人以及他们的初级保健医生的严重关切。媒体对知名运动员猝死的报道以及我们社会中缺血性心脏病的高发病率加剧了这些担忧。然而，这个年龄组的胸痛通常是良性的，包括详细病史和体格检查在内的仔细临床评估可能会指导临床医生做出诊断、进行适当的诊断性检查以及正确转诊给专科医生。
