Coronary artery disease, GORD, and anxiety as potential causes of chest pain

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, the MIMS Learning editors discuss the potential causes of chest pain, with a focus on diagnosis and management in primary care, including cardiac causes, gastrointestinal causes, and psychosocial causes.

This episode explores how misconceptions about coronary artery disease in women can lead to its underdiagnosis, how changes to diet and sleep can help with reflux, and how chest pain can cause anxiety (and vice versa).

The editors also touch upon respiratory causes of chest pain, looking at COPD, interstitial lung disease, and pneumonia.
