Red Flags Signs of Chest Pain

 

This image outlines red flag signs of chest pain, which indicate potentially life-threatening conditions:

  • Sudden, severe onset (e.g., aortic dissection)
  • Pain radiating to the back, neck, or arms (e.g., myocardial infarction)
  • Associated symptoms such as dyspnea, diaphoresis, nausea, or syncope (e.g., myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism)
  • Hypotension or shock (e.g., massive pulmonary embolism or aortic dissection)

These symptoms require urgent medical evaluation to rule out serious cardiovascular emergencies.
