Welcome back to ClerkCast!
[bg_faq_start]Episode 2 – Chest Pain
In Episode 2 we break down a simple differential for deadly chest pain using the PETMAC mnemonic, covering common risk factors and concerning stories for each pathology. We also discuss the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and tips for chest pain investigations.
The attending physician helping us out this week is Dr. Shawn Mondoux, an emergency physician in Hamilton, Ontario, and an associate professor at McMaster University. Dr. Mondoux’s academic interests include the application of quality improvement methodology in the ED and the role of QI methods in post graduate medical education.
