Chest Pain Testing
Direct answer: Chest pain raises acute coronary syndrome. Cardiac biomarkers — troponin first, with CK-MB and myoglobin as adjuncts — support diagnosis; D-Dimer excludes venous thromboembolism.
Recommended biomarkers
- Troponin I / T
- CK-MB
- Myoglobin
- D-Dimer (thrombosis exclusion)
Diagnostic workflow
Serial troponin + ECG → diagnose myocardial infarction (rise/fall pattern) → rule out pulmonary embolism with D-Dimer.
Confirmatory testing
High-sensitivity troponin + ECG + clinical assessment.
