What information should be offered to people with chest pain?
Healthcare professionals should discuss any concerns people (and where appropriate their family or carer/advocate) may have, including anxiety when the cause of the chest pain is unknown. They should also offer people a clear explanation of the possible causes of their symptoms and uncertainties, explain the options to them at every stage of investigation, provide information about any proposed investigations, offer information about the risks of diagnostic testing, address any physical or learning difficulties, sight or hearing problems and difficulties with speaking or reading English, and provide information after diagnosis as recommended in the relevant disease management guidelines.
