There was also no difference in chest pain location between male and female CHD patients.
There is no difference in chest pain location between male and female CHD patients (see Figure 6 and Table 2); for both groups pain regions are mainly situated on the left anterior chest.
He found four different chest pain locations (upper chest, central retrosternal, central chest, left chest, and left arm).
The grouping of four different chest pain locations on variable level were not helpful in differentiating between patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and patients with non-cardiac chest pain.
This conclusion is supported by Eslick [ 6] who performed a k-means cluster analysis on variable level to determine whether there are characteristic patterns in chest pain locations described by patients.
The details were sketchy: something about a rowboat, a man with chest pains, a location somewhere in Stony Brook Harbor.
Healthy volunteers who simulated patients had significantly increased contact pressures at the chest and pelvic locations during PP [ 44] This positioning decreases chest wall movements and reduces thoracoabdominal compliance (increasing stiffness or elastance).
Results: Descriptions of the location (left chest, 66.6%), character (pressure, 59.2%), and precipitants of chest pain (walking, 51.8%) were consistent with clinical descriptions of "typical angina".
40% did not even know the correct abbreviation of BLS, 68% did not know the correct location of chest compression, 76% did not know the correct depth of chest compression and 72% did not know the ratio of chest compression.
However, our data show that CWS, like CHD, is mainly situated on the left anterior chest side, and that location does not discriminate between these two diseases.
