A retrospective, observational study consisting of patients who presents with typical/atypical chest pain and have an ensuing negative ischemic evaluation
Multicenter, retrospective, observational study consisting of patients who presents with typical/atypical chest pain to the emergency department and have an ensuing negative ischemic evaluation. Planned to review the subsequent diagnostic process in these patients, including patients with CMRI (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging for evaluation of myocarditis with the goal of quantifying the number of patients who go on to have a proven diagnosis of myocarditis that can explain their presenting symptoms.
Inclusion criteria 1. Age \>18 years 2. Patients with a presentation of typical or atypical chest pain (ICD-10 Code R07.89, R07. 9) 3. Patients with a negative ischemic workup: (including Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring/CTA, MPI, Nuclear Stress test, LHC/angiography showing anything greater than "non-obstructive CAD") Exclusion criteria 1. Patients with any evidence of positive ischemic workup as the cause of typical/atypical chest pain (as seen on Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring/CTA, MPI, Nuclear Stress test, LHC/angiography) 2. Previously documented history of Prinzmetal angina or coronar…
To better understand the prevalance of further imaging for evaluation of myocarditis, all patients with negative workup will be included and see what number of patients undergo further CMRI, FGD-PET, or speckle tracking echocardiography. Patients will then be categorized as those with myocarditis with positive diagnosis, negative diagnosis or unknown.
