==Overview==
==Overview==
There are many organ systems, that when affected, can lead to the symptoms of chest pain. The most common organs involved are the [[heart]], [[lungs]], and the [[digestive system]]. [[Psychiatric disorders]], can also lead to the perception of chest pain. The most important facet of diagnosis is distinguishing the life-threatening causes of chest pain, to the more benign causes.
Life threatening causes of chest pain include [[myocardial infarction]], [[aortic dissection]], [[pulmonary embolism]], [[tension pneumothorax]], and [[esophageal rupture]]. Other common causes of chest pain include [[GERD]], chest wall tenderness, [[achalasia]], [[pneumonia]], and [[anxiety]].
