ACC/AHA
Chest Pain Guideline
CurrentMD™ Cardiology offers the most updated information in cardiovascular care, from world-renowned clinicians who are at the cutting edge of care. To that end, we teamed up with the experts behind the 2021 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Chest Pain to provide subscribers with key takeaways and inside perspectives.
Led by Guideline writing committee chair, Dr. Martha Gulati, this group of esteemed faculty collaborated on the production of a clear set of updated guidelines for the evaluation and diagnosis of adult patients who present with chest pain. And now they provide CurrentMD Cardiology subscribers key takeaways and insider perspectives to help drive meaningful adoption.
“[Chest pain] is one of the most common things that people present with, both to the emergency department and the outpatient setting, yet there remains inconsistency in how care is delivered…And when that exists, guidelines are almost the only answer to solve that conundrum.” – Phillip Levy, MD, MPH

Meet our Chest Pain Guideline Faculty
“As common as the evaluation of chest pain is (it’s something that we all do so much in this country and in our centers) it’s not straightforward. If this was a simple thing, we probably wouldn’t need to have a guideline and we certainly wouldn’t need to have a very long one. But the reality is, as common as this is, it’s a complex thing.”
