Overview
When suspecting UA/NSTEMI, a chest x-ray is critical to aid in the exclusion of aortic dissection. A mediastinal mass seen on x-ray may be consistent with both aortic dissection and cancer, however cancer is unlikely to present with a syndrome of accelerating chest pain. Chest x ray is also used to evaluate other causes of chest pain or discomfort such as pneumonia, pneumothorax, and pulmonary hypertension.
Chest X Ray
Chest x-ray is critical in assessing for the presence of pulmonary edema or congestive heart failure, both which require urgent treatment, and confers a poorer prognosis.
