Part -1- History :

1- Chest pain

In this part of the lecture, we will focus on how understanding the history of a patient is essential for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions. We will begin by exploring chest pain, a key symptom in many heart-related issues. We’ll discuss how associated factors, like shortness of breath or nausea, can provide more insight into the cause of the pain. It’s also important to know what relieves or exacerbates the symptoms—this helps clinicians understand the severity and nature of the problem. By the end of this section, you will understand how a detailed history can guide diagnosis and treatment in cardiovascular care.
