The chest pain is a relatively frequent manifestation symptomatic and complex, since it may be due to
cardiac causes and non-cardiac multiple pathophysiological mechanisms, there is acute or chronic, with
clinical expression not always easy to distinguish between different etiologies. Up to 7% of all cases treated
in emergency care units related to complaints of chest pain. Thus, it was aimed to evaluate the chest pain
and its systematization in the emergency room through a survey of 134 sheets of care patients received in
emergency units of a hospital in SUS or arrangement of Campina Grande. The study was primarily
descriptive, quantitative, and desk with prospective method of procedure casual. There was slight male
predominance (54,5%) with average of 43,7 ± 15,3 years and the first clinical manifestation of acute
myocardial infarction. Was found a cardiac etiology of chest pain in 26,9% of the pacients, handled
differently between planton emergencies, without any protocol or algorithm-specific treatment. In conclusion
the lack of protocol for chest pain in emergency rooms shows an urgent correction, to speed, efficiency,
quality of care and contain costs.
