Chest pain is one of the most common presentations in emergency medicine. The initial evaluation should always consider life-threatening causes such as aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pericarditis, and esophageal perforation. Radiographic imaging is performed in tandem with the initial clinical assessment and stabilization of the patient. Radiologic findings are key to diagnosis and management of this entity.
胸痛是急诊医学中最常见的症状之一。初始评估应始终考虑危及生命的病因，如主动脉夹层、肺栓塞、气胸、纵隔气肿、心包炎和食管穿孔。在对患者进行初始临床评估和稳定病情的同时进行影像学检查。影像学检查结果是诊断和处理该疾病的关键。
